Granola Parfait Pops-Meatless Monday

06/20/2016 by Deborah Brooks

Happy Meatless Monday! Thanks for joining me and Sarah to celebrate all the fruit and veggie goodness today. After such a rainy, cold start to our spring and summer, it has really gotten quite hot and humid out there. Sometimes you just want something to cool you off after a long run or busy day with the kids and I’ve got just the snack-Granola Parfait Pops.

Granola Parfait Pops| Meatless Monday|dessert|snacks

I often eat Greek Yogurt with granola and fruit for a pre or post workout snack and I thought, why not freeze it all and make a fun summer treat? I can’t believe I didn’t think of making these Granola Parfait Pops sooner. This recipe could not be easier and you most likely have all the ingredients right on hand.

I used a strawberry Greek Yogurt but any flavor will work. Couple that with your favorite granola, a little honey and strawberries and you are ready to “pop” them in to the freezer. A few hours later, come home to the perfect summer treat. I found these easy  reusable popsicle molds right on amazon. (affiliate link)

Meet Deborah

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

  16. Sarah- A Whisk and Two Wands says

    06/20/2016 at 8:28 am

    YUM! We haven’t made these since last summer and are really slacking on the popsicles. I pulled out the popsicle maker a few weeks ago and the ones I made are still sitting in there.
    I’ll have to see if A wants these this week for breakfast. She has gymnastics camp all week (plus soccer) and she was up 2 hours early this morning all ready to go. Than she didn’t want to eat. She finally wanted oatmeal and even being as hot as it is I made it and she ate 2 bites! Maybe I’ll even make these for when she gets home.
    Happy Meatless Monday my friend!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/20/2016 at 11:31 am

Winter Running- Be Prepared From Head To Toe

Winter running-love it or hate it? Whatever your answer, we can’t avoid it. For the most part, I enjoy winter running much more than the heat and humidity of summer running. Over the past 15 years, I have tried out a ton of gear and finally have my favorite pieces nailed down to a science. […]
