Ingredients
  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Granola
  • 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate Shavings or Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Optional: Banana slices

Prepare the Yogurt

If using plain Greek yogurt, consider mixing in a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of honey for added chocolate flavor. For extra peanut butter flavor, mix a teaspoon of peanut butter powder into the yogurt.

Prepare the Peanut Butter

Microwave the peanut butter for about 15 seconds, until it is easily drizzled.

Layer the Parfait

In glasses or jars, layer the ingredients in the following order: a layer of yogurt, a layer of peanut butter granola, a drizzle of peanut butter. Repeat the layers until the glass is almost full. Add banana slices as another layer if you want.

Top and Serve

Top the parfaits with chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. Serve immediately for the best texture. If you prefer a slightly softer granola, chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
