Greek yogurt (in this case, non-fat) flavored with maple syrup, layered with granola, strawberries and blackberries. Remember the maple spiced nuts from Day Four? Cut them up and tossed them in with the granola. Enjoy!

Mapril - Day Five
Susan of 29 Black Street gently reminded me that we bloggers of a certain age need to eat more heart healthy. Seeing that Day Three of Mapril didn't exactly fall into that category, I found a nice healthy breakfast alternative. Maple Yogurt Parfait.

ReplyDeleteAnd it's so good for you...unless you have a thing against dairy.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm - that's my breakfast, blueberries for strawberries and I use honey. I think I'll try maple syrup.
ReplyDeleteVery adaptable. Frozen fruit also works. Plus when you add your own sweet flavor to the yogurt, you can control the amount of sweetness.
ReplyDeleteThe Sweeties are going insane for this. Off to make it this instant!!!!!

will someone teach her how to add a proper link to a comment ?? Chick ?? Shammy ?? MS ???
Susan, regarding the links, I don't think Blogger allows folks to do clickable links in comments. However, if you subscribe to the comments, then when a comment appears in your email it will have a clickable link. So - I can't click on your link here but I can in my email.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps - now off to see about how to make granola...
