Today, I've got a layered yogurt parfait to get you ready for the July 4th holiday.

I love making special treats for my kiddos that are fun and different and sweet and delicious but still completely wholesome.

And with the Fourth of July just around the corner, I wanted some fun festive treats for them and for friends stopping by.

(These red, white and blue appetizers are other favorite festive snacks to have.)

Healthy yogurt parfaits with an all natural strawberry, honey-banana and blueberry layer - just gorgeous!

And these parfaits are perfectly wholesome, no added sugar or food dyes needed for those beautiful layers.

Instead, I use plain Greek yogurt and add homemade mix-ins to control the ingredients and build layers of gorgeous, fruity, sweet flavor.

Plus, lots of yummy fruit! Sweet strawberries on the bottom, sliced bananas in the middle and a big blueberries on top.

Healthy yogurt parfaits with all-natural strawberry, honey-banana and blueberry layers

Recipe Notes:

Strawberry layer: I used a strained puree of strawberries for the bottom layer but you can absolutely just blend up some strawberries (add a touch of honey if they aren’t very sweet) and stir that in to your yogurt. Or even substitute strawberry jam and swirl that in.

Blueberry layer: I used my homemade blueberry sauce to add to the yogurt for the top layer. It doesn’t require much because it’s super sweet - which makes this an extra special treat - and it takes just minutes to make. But you could substitute a store-bought blueberry or grape jam to keep it easy if you’d like.

Yogurt: We use nonfat or 2% plain Greek yogurt for these but regular yogurt would work too.

Finally, you could of course use store-bought flavored strawberry and blueberry yogurt along with a plain (or vanilla) yogurt to make red, white and blue layers. Add your fresh fruits and you are done!

Healthy yogurt parfaits with an all natural strawberry, honey-banana and blueberry layer - a fun breakfast or snack for kids of all ages!

To build the parfaits, carefully spoon each layer into your bowl or glass and use the back of the spoon to smooth out the top before adding the fresh fruit and the next yogurt layer.

Try using a martini glass for teens or adults for a fancy twist! Or you can use short glasses for everyday eating.

You can also try them in mason jars to make these portable for breakfast on the go or a picnic treat!

Plus, you can definitely jazz these up with some fun toppings.

Topping Ideas:

Granola adds a great crunch on top. My 5-ingredient homemade granola is what I usually use.

Crushed cereal is an easy go to as well. Oat squares or "O" cereal are our favorites.

Chia seeds are a fun sprinkle option and a good nutrition booster.

Chopped nuts would be another way to add some crunch to these layers.

A stemless wine glass filled with red, white and blue yogurt as a parfait with fresh fruit layered in and a flag toothpick on top with extra fresh fruit nearby.

I hope you’ll give these wholesome yogurt parfaits a try and let me know what you think! 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

XO,

Kathryn

Red, White and Blue Yogurt Parfaits

This all-natural layered red, white and blue yogurt parfait is great for a fun, festive, healthy breakfast!
Prep Time20 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Yield: 3 -4 servings, depending on your jars/glasses

Ingredients

For the strawberry layer:

  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup strawberry puree (see notes)
  • 4-5 strawberries, thinly sliced

For the honey and banana layer:

  • ¾ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 small banana, thinly sliced

For the blueberry layer:

  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons blueberry sauce or substitute blueberry or grape jam
  • ⅓ cup fresh blueberries

Additional (optional) topping ideas:

  • Granola, crushed cereal, chia seeds, chopped nuts

Instructions

  • Make the bottom layer: Combine the Greek yogurt and strawberry puree in a small bowl and mix well. Divide evenly among your jars or glasses and smooth the top. Place sliced strawberries on top of the yogurt layer.
  • Make the middle layer: Combine the Greek yogurt, honey and vanilla in a small bowl. Add on top of the sliced strawberries in your jars or glasses. Top with the sliced bananas.
  • Make the top layer: Combine the Greek yogurt and blueberry syrup (or jam) in a small bowl. Add on top of the sliced bananas in your jars or glasses. Top with fresh blueberries.
  • Top with any additional toppings as desired and serve!
  • Extras may be kept, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

Yogurt: I used non-fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt for this recipe. Regular yogurt would be fine too. You can also, of course, use store-bought flavored strawberry and blueberry yogurt here, as well as plain or vanilla yogurt for the layers.
Here's the recipe for my homemade blueberry sauce.
To make the strawberry puree, simply blend ½ cup of ripe strawberries in a blender or food processor or immersion blender. Add a teaspoon of honey if the strawberries aren’t very sweet. You can make it as chunky or as thin as you like. (If your mixture is too thick and not blending well, add the yogurt for that layer and blend them together.)
