Fall is here and so is pumpkin season! Dial up delicious with easy breakfast parfaits. Crunchy pumpkin seed granola layered with fresh berries. Drizzle luscious balsamic vinegar to balance tangy yogurt. Crispy, creamy & naturally sweet in every bite. Makes 3 parfaits.

Simple Ingredients

· 3 tablespoons Villa Graziella Organic Oro-Gold label balsamic vinegar, + extra to drizzle.

· 2 cups plain, whole fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt-if possible organic.

· 1 heaping cup mixed berries-blackberries, blueberries, raspberries & strawberries-if possible organic.

Easy Directions

3. In 3 glass jars or drinking glasses pour 1 tablespoon each of balsamic vinegar lining the bottom.

4. Add a layer of yogurt to each glass.

6. Follow with a layer of pumpkin seed granola.

7. Repeat the process; 1 tablespoon vinegar, then yogurt, berries, and granola.

9. Remove from the refrigerator, drizzle each glass with remaining tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.

10.Serve & enjoy!

Helpful Hints

· For overnight parfaits, skip the last layer of granola & final balsamic vinegar drizzle to avoid soggy/soft granola. Cover & refrigerate. Add granola the next morning, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

· Serving brunch? Double batch the parfaits. Make ahead, skipping the last layer of granola to prevent soggy/soft granola & balsamic vinegar. Cover & refrigerate. Add granola, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar just before serving.

· Why full fat, Greek yogurt? The creamy thick texture blends perfectly with balsamic vinegar, fruit & granola. It’s also sugar free, with healthy fat & protein.

· No fresh berries? Use in season apples, citrus, figs, and pears cut into bit size pieces.

· For added crunch, top granola with toasted almonds, chopped walnuts or shredded coconut.
