It’s 4 o’clock by the time my daughter arrives home from school, and she’s hungry. I try to feed her a healthy snack that will satisfy but not totally spoil her dinner. Something that will give her an energy boost to help her get through all of that homework.
One of her favorites is a delicious peanut butter yogurt I make for her. Usually she enjoys it for breakfast but it makes a great anytime treat too.
When I heard about the General Mills Stock Up Sale at ACME, I saw an opportunity to stock up on our essentials ingredients. Yoplait Greek Vanilla 100 singles are on sale for only $.88 so we picked up a bunch to last us the next few weeks. Then I saw that another favorite product was on sale. Nature Valley Crunchy Oats n Honey Granola Bars are delicious all on their own, but I thought they’d be the perfect accompaniment for our favorite peanut butter yogurt.
That’s when I thought a parfait would be perfect. Who doesn’t love a parfait? The best thing about it is there are no rules. You can add what you like, and leave out what you don’t.
Start by whipping the peanut butter with the Yoplait Greek Vanilla 100. Next, mash up those deliciously crunchy Nature Valley bars. A plastic zip baggie works well for this part, and kids will have fun doing the mashing for you using a meat tenderizer; just watch those little fingers.
Whipped Peanut Butter Parfait
Now get together your fixins, and start layering. There are no rules here, but I like to have at least two layers of yogurt and two layers of toppings.
- 1 Yoplait Greek Vanilla 100 single
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 pkg of 2 Nature Valley Crunchy Oats n Honey Granola Bars
- ½ banana, sliced
- Whip together the yogurt and peanut butter with a fork until blended.
- Place one pouch Nature Valley bars in a closed plastic zip baggie and mash with a meat tenderizer until it resembles loose granola.
- In a glass, layer yogurt mixture first, followed by bananas and oat mixture.
- Repeat with at least one more layer and enjoy.
The Stock Up Sale runs at ACME from Friday Oct. 2nd until Thurs, Oct 15th. The other General Mills products in the sale include Honey Nut Cheerios, Progresso Traditional and Light Chicken Noodle Soup, Yoplait Original Strawberry and Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac.
