Activia Harvest Picks Strawberry Yogurt Parfait with Banana Graham Cracker Crust Recipe

This past week I had a fun opportunity to get creative while creating delicious breakfast variations with Activia Harvest Picks Yogurt.  New Activia Harvest Picks is a deliciously fruity and silky smooth yogurt. You will enjoy a Harvest of real fruit in every silky spoonful.  My goal was to  create a new recipe that has never been done before.  First, I tasted each flavor of Activia Harvest Picks Yogurt, which included Strawberry, Peach, Mixed Berries, and Cherry.  You will enjoy a Harvest of real fruit in every silky spoonful. Each flavor had a silky texture and tasted wonderful.  I particularly enjoyed how each flavor had the perfect amount of fruit infusion.  As I was trying to figure out what to make with Activia Harvest yogurt, the options were unlimited.  Here are a few of my favorite breakfast ideas to incorporate Activia Harvest Yogurt with daily:

1. Delicious Fruit & Yogurt Platter: Arrange fresh slices of fruit served with Activia Harvest Picks yogurt displayed on a platter for dipping.
2. Pancake & Yogurt Trifle: Using a trifle dish, alternate layers of pancakes between Activia Harvest Picks yogurt.
3. Granola Yogurt Parfait. Using a clear plastic cup, layer yogurt, fresh fruit, and granola.

After sampling each flavor of Activia Harvest Picks, I had visions of strawberries and bananas dancing in my head.  Before I could think further, I got busy in the kitchen.  I decided to mock a strawberry-banana cheesecake in parfait form.  With layers of homemade banana graham cracker crust, alternating layers of freshly sliced strawberries and Acitivia Harvest Picks Yogurt, these will make a remarkable addition to your next breakfast.  Oh how much fun this was!
