Breakfast parfaits almost don't even count as recipes because they're so incredibly easy to make. Take soy yogurt, granola, and fruit, then layer away—that's it. Yes, it's super-easy, but that doesn't mean the end result is boring.

The crunchy granola and cool creamy yogurt offer a wonderful contrast. The variety of fruits—you can use almost any type of fruit you like—results in sweet bursts of flavor and healthy vitamins.
I know—"parfait" and "healthy" are two words that you don't always find together. Dessert parfaits are typically made by layering ice cream, not yogurt, with other not-so-healthy ingredients. But when you replace the ice cream with soy yogurt and opt for fruits and a little granola, you're left with a delicious and healthy breakfast treat.

Well of course I read this yesterday at work and had to stop on the way home to get the makings... As it turned out my wife was making some kind of wok-cooked Chinese soup for dinner and this "parfait" was a great dessert contrast vs. the bitter bok choy.
But I digress. Depending on the granola you use, this recipe can be made extra tasty with a few drops of agave nectar. I personally like to use toasted rolled oats for this type of recipe (i.e. not a pre-sweetened granola), and the agave really adds a lot to this variant. Also sprinkle a little bran in.
