Ingredient Notes
- Fresh Peaches – I typically make this recipe during the summer when fresh peaches are at their height of flavor. The best way to choose peaches is to smell them. They should smell like, well – like a peach! Steer clear of any with obvious surface blemishes or bruising.
- Fresh Blueberries – Look for berries that are firm, plump, and a deep blue color. Skip any that have mold or excess moisture in the container.
- Vanilla Yogurt – The vanilla yogurt provides all the sweetness I need in this recipe.
- Granola – Use any brand that you like. I sometimes make my own homemade granola or purchase the Nature Valley brand.

Questions About Peach Blueberry Yogurt Parfait
Of course not. You can just as easily create a breakfast bowl with this recipe. Simply layer the ingredients into a bowl instead of a glass.
Yes, you can make the recipe in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. I’d probably leave the granola off until ready to serve so that it doesn’t become soggy.
Fresh fruit is always best, of course, but if it isn’t available, you can use frozen fruit that has been thawed and well drained.
Sure can! Use any style of yogurt you want.
