Nature Valley™ makes delicious granola. This particular kind I used is their Protein Crunchy Granola in the Oats ‘n Honey flavor. I love it. My daughter loves to make her own yogurt parfaits with it. She takes a glass and layers vanilla yogurt, fruit and granola then repeats it. It is a breakfast/snack that I am totally fine with her eating. I love that 1/2 cup Nature Valley™ Protein Granola provides 10 grams of protein and 22-26 grams of whole grain, at least 48 grams of whole grain recommended daily. That’s awesome!
I took my daughter’s version and used Cheesecake pudding instead of yogurt for a quick and yummy treat or dessert.
It was ready in 5 minutes. If you keep the ingredients on hand, you will always have a delicious treat ready for unexpected company, last minute dessert assignment for a potluck or party or just a treat for tv watching after the kids are in bed. Because you deserve it. All you gotta do is mix up Cheesecake flavored instant pudding and layer it in a small cup or glass with fruit and granola.
Look at the granola! It just belongs there.
