Snack Attack

Pretty Perfect Parfait

This parfait is a near-perfect snack since it first functions as an art project: Your kids can use their creativity to make stripes as they layer ingredients in the parfait dish. Plus, it’s packed with nutritious ingredients that actually taste really good! Just try not to be too surprised when your kids ask for seconds of flax seed and wheat germ!
