Chilled Strawberry & Banana Parfait

I was in the mood for a parfait for breakfast last week and I realized I haven’t made one in a very long time. What I like about parfaits is the fact you can layer your glass with almost anything you want: grains of your choice, fruit, nuts, seeds, cranberries, raisins, almond butter, etc. Those are some of my favorite foods! Also, who doesn’t like to eat out of a fancy glass at 7 in the morning? Unfortunately, it’s not filled with wine but the parfait still comes in a close second in my book.

How about you? When you make a parfait, what are your favorite goodies to go inside the glass?
