Make Ahead Berry Breakfast Parfait!
Many of our Kids Eat Smart Clubs serve parfaits, and kids love them. Berry breakfast parfaits are simple. This recipe in particular is great for breakfast club because you can make them ahead of time. Most of our KES Clubs have teams of volunteers, and some volunteers are not able to help out early mornings for breakfast service but are able to stop by the school in the afternoons or evenings to help prep for the days ahead; this time works excellent for those volunteers. Try this recipe next week at your KES Club.
