Greek yogurt parfaits are a quick and easy dessert idea. Making these easy Greek yogurt parfaits with fresh berries and crunchy granola bars create a fruit parfait that is as delicious as it is healthy!
My kids love crunchy granola bars, especially the oats and honey bars. I used our favorite crunchy granola bars to make a quick and easy summertime dessert option for the kids to enjoy.
To boost nutrition, I try to go for a healthier version of traditional granola bars, made with wholesome, organic ingredients that aren't too high in sugar. I prefer bars that are free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives and ingredients sourced from GMOs. I also like to get at least 4-5 grams of protein per serving, if possible. Protein isn't as important in the bar if you can also give this snack a protein boost with Greek yogurt or milk.
