A granola parfait is a great breakfast option when you need to prepare something quick, easy and fresh. The fruit-rich breakfast can also substitute as a dessert for those who want a healthier option after their meal. The best thing about a parfait is that it is entirely customizable: You can alter the portions of fruit, yogurt and granola to your specific taste preferences.
