This Strawberry Piña Colada Parfait recipe is great for breakfast, lunch, or even dessert. It is very easy to make and only takes seconds to assemble. Also, this recipe is very versatile and you can add in dried fruits, nuts, chia seeds, and so much more to create a unique parfait every time. The secret to a great parfait is the yogurt, that is why I only use vanilla greek yogurt. It is creamy and filling and gives a parfait the right type of fluff.
Lately I have been on a huge greek yogurt kick. There are so many uses for it, depending on the flavour you get. The plain greek yogurt can be used to replace butter and sour cream for a healthier alternative. Vanilla can be used for pretty much any and everything else.
While I was browsing through the grocery store the other week, there was an awesome deal on greek yogurt so of course, I stocked up. Once I got home I had to figure out what to do with all of it. I decided to make my twist on a parfait and make a Strawberry Piña Colada Parfait Recipe.

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum! We were watching an Australian cooking show the other day and they were making a parfait and we were all amazed because its nothing like a parfait that we know! This looks so good!
That is interesting! It certainly is good and so easy to prepare.
Nice and simple and looks delicious
I’m afraid that I don’t like granola so I’d probably use something like cornflakes or rice krispies as a substitute. I’d certainly enjoy strawberries for breakfast 🙂
Cereal would be a great substitutions to granola!
