Summer's Golden Hour: How to Build the Perfect Breakfast Parfait with Garden Granola Carrot Turmeric
Published: August 10, 2025 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 2 | Gluten-Free | Vegan Option
There's something magical about the first spoonful of a perfectly layered parfait. The way creamy vanilla yogurt mingles with juicy summer peaches, how fresh blackberries burst with sweetness, and the satisfying crunch that brings it all together. This isn't just breakfast—it's a celebration of summer's peak flavors.
Why This Parfait-Building Technique Will Transform Your Morning
The most memorable combinations often come from thoughtful layering. This breakfast parfait approach represents everything we believe about mindful eating: seasonal fruit at its peak, creamy indulgence balanced with wholesome ingredients, and flavors so compelling you'll crave them daily.
The secret? Our Garden Granola® Carrot Turmeric, which transforms a simple parfait into something genuinely special. The earthy, slightly peppery notes of turmeric paired with the natural sweetness of carrots, pineapple, and mango create an unexpectedly sophisticated flavor profile—all tied together with tart Montmorency cherries.
The Wellness Benefits You'll Actually Taste
Peaches: Summer's Golden Treasure
Fresh peaches are naturally nourishing, rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that make them a seasonal favorite.
Blackberries: Antioxidant Jewels
These dark purple gems are packed with flavor and naturally occurring antioxidants, with plenty of fiber to make them both delicious and satisfying.
Yogurt: Creamy Foundation with Options
The yogurt base brings creaminess and live cultures if you choose a dairy variety, or a rich, plant-based alternative if you go with coconut yogurt. Either way, you’re creating a parfait that’s fresh, balanced, and beautiful.
Note: This parfait is naturally gluten-free and easily made vegan with coconut yogurt.

Elegant breakfast parfait with Garden Granola Carrot Turmeric topped with fresh summer fruit in a glass jar on white marble.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
2 cups vanilla yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan option)
1 medium peach, chopped
1 cup fresh blackberries
Method
Gather 2 parfait glasses or clear serving bowls—the transparency showcases the beautiful layers.
Divide half of the vanilla yogurt between the glasses.
Layer half of the peaches over the yogurt in each glass.
Add half of the blackberries.
Sprinkle half of the Garden Granola Carrot Turmeric over each parfait.
Repeat with remaining yogurt, peaches, blackberries, and finish with a final crown of granola.
The Art of Perfect Layering
Choose peaches at peak ripeness and blackberries that are plump and deeply colored. The final sprinkle of Garden Granola Carrot Turmeric adds crunch and warming spice, tying all the flavors together.
Why Garden Granola® Changes Everything
Traditional granola often feels heavy and disconnected from fresh summer flavors. Our Garden Granola Carrot Turmeric is different—designed to complement rather than compete. With subtle sweetness from carrots, the warming depth of turmeric, and a satisfying crunch, it enhances rather than overwhelms your carefully crafted parfait.
