We’re getting ready for vacation around here! BeeBop and I are both off work all next week and the very best thing is that A and Mag will both be here with us the whole time. We’re going to get them tomorrow morning and we’ll have them until the following Sunday. It’s going to be a blast! We’re planning a trip to a Gwinnett Braves ball game, a trip to the movies, a train ride in the North Georgia mountains, maybe some swimming and maybe a picnic. I can’t wait! But I may need another vacation to recover from the first one. Hmmm…
While I’m typing this I’m also looking at the temperature outside. It’s still early afternoon and it’s already 92 degrees here. With high humidity. Now that’s not so unusual in Georgia. Really. We’re pretty much used to it. We know how to live with it. You slow down, find an air conditioned space and when you have a meal you make it something light and refreshing.
That’s where today’s recipe comes in – the light and refreshing part. This is a quick and easy summer time delight - a Peach-Blueberry Yogurt Parfait! Peaches have started coming to market and blueberry season is beginning as well, so I took those two favorites and combined them in this very simple dessert. It’s so simple that you don’t even need a recipe! Simply layer fresh, sliced, juicy ripe peaches with blueberries and lowfat vanilla yogurt. Sprinkle on a little lowfat granola. Dig in!
This is a delicious light dessert for hot summer days. Also great for breakfast!
Enjoy!

I think I could eat this anytime of the day! Delicious!
This looks like a perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner to me!
Wow, I love these for breakfast! What a great photo and composition, too. Let’s eat!
Thanks. I thought it was a nice photo, too, but Tastespotting turned it down…as usual. Reason – “composition.” So frustrating!
Your recipes are always so fresh easy and homely. That is such a great dessert or breakfast for summer. Thank you.
This looks like a great treat for the summer. I envy you your heat & humidity. Your week off sounds great. Enjoy x
Oh, Heather! Don’t be envious of our heat and humidity. Late this afternoon it was 96 degrees with about 98% humidity. It’s like living in a sauna this time of year. We do have pretty complexions, though :-)
This parfait looks perfect for summer, a nice way to enjoy your fresh peaches and blueberries! I agree summer is the time to slow down.
my girls love yogurt parfaits…..yours look great!!
Thanks, Dennis!
Make the most out of your vacation. It’ll go by fast.
I need to start eating parfaits for breakfast. :)
Oh yum! Erika of Itzy’s Kitchen is always talking about parfaits and she has a green apple one I’ve been dying to make! But this sounds like an amazing fruity combination too :)
now that’s a cool dessert, a healthy breakfast and just a great snack too – nothing better than fresh peaches and blueberries, both are peaking now ’round here too….
This is very nice. You could actually use any combination of fruit you might have available. Thanks for sharing.
I look forward to the start of the peach season every year, and your recipe looks like the perfect way to kick it off. Tree ripened peaches (particularly GA ones!) are so good on their own and need little embellishment. I love that you’ve kept things simple so that the fresh peach flavor can really shine through.
Peaches have just started showing up at our farmer’s market (finally) and this looks like a perfect breakfast to me Great picture!!!
This looks like the perfect light and cool breakfast! I live in Phoenix, and while we don’t have the humidity to deal with, the dry heat is still hot when it’s upwards of 115! Here’s to surviving summer with fantastic recipes like this one :)
This sounds so good. It is humid BUT not that hot today (I am trying to catch up on old Food Buzz blogs that are in my Inbox so I am sorry that this is months late) but I could still use a good NO-COOK recipe and this sounds perfect. I have some Saturn peaches and a few blueberries hanging out in the refrigerator. Perfect. Thanks for the inspiration.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. It’s so easy, light, refreshing and very healthy!
