Red, White and Blue Parfaits

Start off the 4th of July with a bang by making berry and yogurt parfaits for breakfast. Or, you can save the fun as a healthy addition to the BBQ later in the day. Regardless, the simple ingredients make these easy and appealing. For a vintage feel, make the parfaits in Mason jars.

Ingredients:
Blueberries
Strawberries
Vanilla Yogurt
Granola
Young Living Lemon Vitality Oil

Directions:
1. Wash all fruit. Slice strawberries into bite-size pieces. 
2. Mix two drops of Young Living Lemon Vitality Oil per one cup of yogurt.
3. Fill the bottom of each Mason jar about 1/3 full with blueberries.
4. Add yogurt to make the jars about 2/3 full.
5. Top with the strawberries until the jars are nearly full.
6. Add a little granola for extra crunch to the top before serving.
