A glass of yogurt parfait is one of the best ways to start your day. Its a glass full of nutrition and each layer is an adventure. Traditionally it is made by layering yogurt, fruits and granola. Being a lover of dried and dehydrated fruits, I came up with this parfait which combines elements of a traditional parfait with some other interesting and complimentary flavors. The result is a creamy glass full of goodness which can be enjoyed as a snack or a dessert. As with most of my desserts, its not too sweet and leaves you feeling refreshed.
