This super easy yogurt and cereal parfait with fruit jelly comes together in a snap for breakfast. Just a little prep work the night before means a special breakfast the next morning. 

Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved all things jello-y. I wanted to incorporate this into my parfaits, but still keep it breakfast friendly. The jelly I used here is SUPER easy and super guilt free! At least, guilt free if you are cool with 100% fruit juice. Which, come on… It’s fruit juice.

So let me tell you the easy steps to make this parfait.

Step one.

This super easy yogurt and cereal parfait with fruit jelly comes together in a snap for breakfast. Just a little prep work the night before means a special breakfast the next morning. 

Ingredients

• 1 lb Plain full fat Greek yogurt
• maple syrup optional, to taste
• 2 cups cereal optional, one cup each of two different cereals
• 2 cups 100% fruit juice optional, one cup each of two different flavors
• 1 T gelatin

Instructions

The night before:

1. Instructions for 1 cup of fruit juice: Get two bowls out, and one cup of chilled juice. Pour 1/4 cup of juice into one bowl, and the rest into the other. Sprinkle 1/2 T of gelatin over the 1/4 cup of juice and allow to bloom for a couple of minutes. Microwave the other bowl of juice until just boiling. Add the hot juice to the gelatin juice and mix until fully combined. Pour the juice into a mold and place in the refrigerator when no longer hot. Allow to set for several hours of over night. Repeat with another cup of a different flavored juice. When solidified, take a fork and mash the jelly up into pieces. Note: using two different colored juices will make for a prettier presentation!

In the morning: 

1. In clear cups, layer yogurt, jelly, and cereal. You may want to sweeten your yogurt with some maple syrup. I give my kids plain, but sweeten mine slightly. You can also use flavored yogurt. 
2. Eat immediately, as cereal will start to get soggy if you leave it too long.
