strawberymousseparfait_titleI’ve talked before about how my sons can be picky eaters. I often struggle to find foods and food combinations that they will eat. One thing I frequently find myself doing is sneaking foods that are good for them into foods that they will eat.

In fact, this is how I came up with the idea to create these mini strawberry mouse granola parfaits.

parfaitwithboxOne of the main ingredients in these parfaits is Quaker® Simply Granola Oats, Apples, Cranberries, and Almonds. My boys love this simple, yet tasty and filling granola — particularly because of the satisfying, crunchy granola clusters and inclusions such as real fruit and nuts.

  1. Those mini strawberry mousse parfaits look wonderful. Sneaking good-for-you foods in with foods you know they will eat always worked for me; with the exception of onion. Event the taste of onion and my son would not eat it.
