Yogurt Parfait

Yesterday I tried a yogurt parfait from Rockwood Bakery. It had non fat yogurt, low fat granola that they made, honey, and fresh berries. The woman behind the counter gave me a look when I asked what berries I was getting myself into with the parfait, but she answered strawberries. I can do those in a smoothie. This just isn't blended. Okay. I ordered one with a nonfat sugar free vanilla latte. I've got to have a treat you know.

Anyway. Not all of the berries were really firm and it took a bit of effort on my part to charge ahead and eat. The look on my face when I hit those bites amused my husband. There were also mystery fruits within the granola. I purposefully did not look at the apothecary jar that held more of the low fat granola describing it. I did when I was at the bottom of the cup. The dried cranberries were no problem, however the dried apricots and raisins were new. Ack! That was a strange chewy-ness for me, but I did indeed make it to the bottom of the 16 ounce parfait

With strawberries coming in to season at Greenbluff, I think I can do this at home. I have made granola myself that is good. I think if I make it myself the berry chunks will be firmer too. As opposed to waiting in a refrigerated case for a customer to come along and order it. Might try bananas?
