What is National Strawberry Parfait Day?
National Strawberry Parfait Day, June 25th, comes around each year during the perfect time – peak strawberry season.

In fact, parfait is French for delectable. In a tall stemmed glass, the traditional parfait is a dessert of ice cream or frozen custard layered with fruit and whipped cream. The dessert is served with an additional layer of whipped cream garnishes. We often substitute the ice cream with yogurt or pudding, as well as layers of granola.
Strawberries are not only in season in June, but they are also a good source of Vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, and fiber. These sweet treats were a hit at 55 calories and zero fat per 1 cup when snack time was announced. Make parfaits, but don't just save them for dessert when making them. They make a delectable breakfast and snack as well as serving them with yogurt and granola.
