Although I'm generally in a hurry during my Mon.-Fri. week, I still want to make sure my morning health doesn't suffer with fastfoods and butter-drenched bakery foods on my way to wherever I'm going. So, with inspiration from my mom, I created a recipe that can be made Monday night and will still be good till Friday morning, easy for a quick scoop in a to-go container every morning as I'm running out the door.
Weeklong Parfait
Ingredients
3 cans fruit cocktail
2 cans mandarin oranges (or if you can find the mandarin orange and peach mix, yum!)
3 bananas (sliced)
2 green apples (chopped up)
650 g container of vanilla yogurt
brown sugar to garnish
granola for morning tops (I get the pumpkin granola from Trader Joe's, but Safeway brand's cinnamon granola is great too)
Preperation
1. Grab a really large bowl (largest you have)
2. Drain canned fruits and put them into bowl. Add apples and bananas. Mix well.
3. Put 3/4 of the container of yogurt into the bowl and mix again.
4. Stir light soonfuls of brown sugar into the mix, tasting every few little scoops and stop at your sweetness's desire.
5. Store in fridge. When ready to make parfait with it in the mornings, simply scoop into breakfast bowl or to-go container and top with granola.
This recipe can also be served as a healthy dessert!
