Yogurt, it is what’s for breakfast!

I just began eating yogurt. As a child, I never cared for dairy products because I was lactose intolerant. I actually only drank soy milk for most of my life. As I grew older, people started telling me to start adding more dairy products to my diet to help protect my bones as I age. I tried different types of yogurt and never found any that I was crazy about. Then I had a parfait at Panera Bread and found them to be amazing (despite paying $5)! I asked the cashier what kind of yogurt they used and she replied “Stoneyfield's Organic French Vanilla”....I figured I could buy the yogurt myself and make my own parfaits.

****I ended up purchasing a bunch of the individual size yogurts at whole foods for only .50 cents and used some organic raspberries + organic vanilla granola. It came out just as good and was a fraction of the price.
