Summer is a great time to eat all of you favorite fruits, because they are fresh and refreshing to eat! Also, June 25th is national strawberry parfait day, and because of that I have included a strawberry parfait recipe from Kansas State Research and Extension’s program called “Kids a Cookin’”. This recipe is made for children to make and enjoy, but it is just as good for adults and easy to make.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons vanilla yogurt, divided

2 heaping tablespoons cereal, either flakes or nuggets

2 tablespoons strawberries or crushed pineapple

1 teaspoon chopped peanuts

1 teaspoon mini-chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

  1. Measure 2 tablespoons of yogurt into an 8-ounce clear cup.
  2. Sprinkle cereal on top.
  3. Spread 2 more tablespoons of yogurt on top.
  4. Spread fruit on top.
  5. Add 2 more tablespoons of yogurt.
  6. Top with chopped peanuts and chocolate chips.

 

Hope you enjoy this treat while trying to beat the heat!
