Strawberry and Raspberry Parfait

Fresh, sweet, nourishing parfait for breakfast.... or for snack....or for dessert!



Ingredients:

• An inspiring and beautiful drinking glass
• Yogurt of your choice (my kids prefer Old Chatham Sheep Company sheep milk yogurt)
• Sliced fruit of your choice, kept separate: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, peaches, etc.
• Honey

Directions:

Put a spoonful of yogurt in the bottom of the glass. Add slices of one type of fruit. Drizzle a little honey. Add another spoonful or two into the glass. Add slices of another type of fruit. Drizzle honey. Continue until you have filled the glass with layers of yogurt, fruit and honey. Finish with a top layer of fruit and honey and add a sprig of mint or another garnish (try sliced almonds, chocolate chips or something else inspiring!)
