Yogurt Parfait

I have been an enormous fan of the yogurt parfait since discovering it last semester. It combines protein, calcium, and whole grains in a single (unexpectedly addictive) dish. Granted this is not one of the more inventive posts, however it is a nice option for students who want to eat a healthful breakfast but are tired of cereal and grapefruit. For those who prefer, fruity yogurt can be combined with or substituted for plain yogurt (I find the fruity yogurt to be too sweet).

Ingredients:
2 spoonfuls of plain yogurt
1 banana
Granola from the cereal bar
Honey

Directions:
Start by putting the yogurt in a bowl. Head over to the cereal bar and top the yogurt with granola--usually enough to cover the surface of the yogurt makes for a good proportion. Follow by slicing a smaller-sized banana across the top, and finish by drizzling with honey (careful not to overdo it; the granola already contains honey). In my opinion, mixing the ingredients compromises the structural and flavorful integrity of the parfait, but it may be done according to preference.
