March is National Nutrition Month, and registered dietitians invite you to learn more about healthful eating for you and your family. There is no one size fits all approach to fitness and health. That is why this year’s theme is “Personalize Your Plate.” I got the chance to join the TODAY at 11 crew on WLBT out of Jackson, Mississippi, and share my best tips to Personalize Your Plate for better health.

After it aired, many viewers requested more information on the chocolate strawberry yogurt parfaits that were featured. I decided to bring my favorite helper into the kitchen and go deeper into that recipe. Let me know if you try them!

Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Parfait - crunchy chocolate granola, creamy yogurt, and a fresh, sweet-tart strawberry sauce. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients per layer

¼ cup Chocolate Granola*

1 Tbsp. Dark chocolate chips

⅓ cup Strawberries

1 Tbsp. Strawberry Puree*

¼ cup Yogurt: plain, Greek, or vanilla greek, or vanilla

Instructions

Layer in the granola and chocolate chips, sliced strawberries, strawberry puree, then yogurt, and repeat layered ingredients till you’ve reached the desired amount.

Best assembled shortly before eating so the granola stays crunchy.

*You can use your favorite granola and add in dark chocolate chips. And, look for the strawberry puree in the baking section of the grocery store. It is what you use to make pies. You can also nix the chips and add in your favorite nut of choice or just allow your granola to give you the crunch you desire.
