Aren’t these red, white and blue parfaits absolutely festive and so perfect for Memorial Day?

Red White Blue Parfait | Inspiration KitchenThese babies barely made being photographed before I quickly put down the camera and devoured what was in front of me.  I simply couldn’t resist how fresh and flavorful they looked.

How could anyone possibly resist when you start with the freshest, plumpest, brightest red strawberries that were so ripe, they were begging to be eaten?  Begging!  I’m telling you – I heard them.

And it didn’t help that the blueberries were busting at the seams with juiciness and their pop-in-your-mouth irresistible selves.  Adding the vanilla yogurt with an extra dollop of vanilla bean paste coupled with the creamy, decadent and mouth-watering cool whip seemed absolutely natural.  Needed.

Doesn’t summertime just scream for fresh berries and lighter weight recipes?  Yet, what foodie wants to sacrifice taste?

The good news is, with these parfaits, you don’t have to.  They are as simple, light, delicious and colorful as they look.  And they are fabulous.

Enjoy!
