19 Layered Parfaits You’ll Want to Instagram ASAP

If you’ve ever seen one of those commercials where the highlight of some lady’s day is eating yogurt, you might have found yourself thinking, “What is that lady so excited about?” That scenario might be a little easier to stomach if the woman was eating a macaronut (yes, it’s a thing) instead of spooning yogurt out of a single-serve plastic container. If baked goods aren’t your idea of a healthy snack or ideal breakfast, and you still want to reach your own state of yogurt bliss, make yourself one of these 19 decadent layered parfaits. They’re healthy treats that will also satisfy your sweet tooth in the morning (or afternoon… or after dinner). Try alternating layers of creamy yogurt with fresh or pureed fruit, healthy yogurt toppings like toasted grains and fresh mint or even chia seed pudding. How sweet is that?

1. Roasted Blueberry Parfaits: Roasting blueberries creates a delicious, naturally saucy topping you can sweeten to your liking with a little sugar and vanilla extract. Layer roasted blueberries straight out of the oven with yogurt and granola for some hot and cold action. It’s reminiscent of a hot pie topped with cold whipped cream. (via The Cake Blog)

2. Banana and Chocolate Chia Cream Pie Parfaits:The classic banana split gets a healthy superfood makeover. If you haven’t hopped on board the chia pudding train yet, this recipe might persuade you. Grab two spoons to share with your beau, and pretend you’re on a date at an old-school diner. (via Half Baked Harvest)

3. Fourth of July Parfait: Though this yogurt treat was dreamed up with a summer weekend of indulgent eating in mind, it also works as a simple breakfast or afternoon snack. Bonus: It only has six ingredients and requires no cooking. (via Bakers Royale)

4. Persimmon Yogurt Parfaits: When persimmons are in season and you have so many you don’t know what to do with them, pureeing is a solid option. They’ll add major flavor to smoothies and yogurt and lend some texture to this creamy parfait. (via Low Carb Maven)

5. Honeyed Grapefruit Yogurt Parfait With Popped Amaranth: Start your day off with a new-to-you whole grain like amaranth for an energy boost that will keep you focused all morning long. Use a tall pan to toast the seeds — they have a tendency to jump when they pop! (via The Kitchn)

6. Raspberry Mocha Mudslide Parfaits: (Literally) whip up these easy desserts for your next dinner party. It’s a completely no-bake dessert — just save some room in your fridge to let it thicken and the chocolate, raspberry and coffee flavors set. (via Baking a Moment)

7. Salted Bourbon Vanilla Granola With Caramelized Fig Parfaits: Sweet breakfast lovers, this yogurt dish is calling your name. Make a big batch of this amazing granola, made with both bourbon and vanilla bean paste, so you can eat it all week. Trust us — it’ll go fast. (via How Sweet It Is)

8. Blueberry Pie Yogurt Parfaits: Indulge your cravings and have pie anytime you like! Just crumble some graham crackers and layer with homemade blueberry sauce and Greek yogurt. That was a lot easier than baking a pie, right? (via The Attune Foods Daily Digest)

9. No-Bake Avocado Lime Parfaits: For a light dessert that still manages to be super rich and satisfying, try this parfait made with avocado. It’s suggested you use Greek cream cheese for the creamy avocado pudding layer, but if you can’t find it, you can opt for nonfat cream cheese or thick kefir instead. (via Yummy Healthy Easy)

10. Blueberry Rose Chevre Pesto and Parfait With Berries and Melon: Though this blend of berries, nuts and cheese isn’t what you typically think of when you picture pesto, it’s well worth trying. Layer with grapes and berries — a natural pairing for chevre cheese — for an afternoon bite when you’re craving a snack that’s both sweet and savory. (via Cali Zona)

11. Chia Berry Parfait: For those of us who like to hit the snooze button, this chia pudding, berry mash and banana cream concoction can be prepared the night before and layered in a mason jar for an easy breakfast. If you’re taking this parfait to go, package dry ingredients separately and top once you’re ready to eat. (via GMO Free Girl)

12. Cantaloupe in Coconut Rose Cream: Enjoy a taste of summer whenever the mood strikes. This gorgeous cantaloupe parfait is just the refreshment you need on a hot day; it’s juicy and filled with floral notes thanks to pistachios and rosewater. Even if it hasn’t warmed up where you are, you’ll swear you’ve been transported to the beach. (via Kiran Tarun)

13. Motichoor Rabri Parfait: This parfait uses Indian fried cakes, known as “ladoo,” for a delicious textural component in place of your typical granola. It’s a clever Westernized take on rabri, an Indian yogurt-based dessert. (via Whisk Affair)

14. Coconut, Chia and Mango Breakfast Parfait: When it’s hot out, you don’t want to start your day off with a heavy breakfast. Keep cool in the AM with an airy chia pudding and pureed mango with no sugar added. This recipe only requires four ingredients, so you’ll know the first meal of your day is a clean one. (via The Swirling Spoon)

15. Strawberry Blackberry Yogurt Parfait: Sometimes dishes are not what they seem. Case in point: this berry yogurt parfait, which has a secret ingredient. Mascarpone cheese is whipped into Greek yogurt for a little extra indulgence, and we’re more than okay with that. Sometimes you need a sugary secret weapon to get you through the day. (via Foodness Gracious)

16. Creamy Chia Parfait With Crunchy Millet: Ran out of granola? Luckily, you can make a crunchy granola-like topping with a little coconut oil, millet and maple syrup on your stovetop. It’s just the crispy addition this vanilla chia pudding parfait with mango avocado needs to become a breakfast staple in your life. (via The Green Life)

17. Strawberry White Chocolate Mousse Parfait: Sometimes the simplest dish can satisfy all of our cravings. That’s why this white chocolate parfait is at the top of our cravings list. It’s as simple as melting white chocolate, whipping it into yogurt and layering with fresh strawberries. (via Little Sweet Baker)

18. Lemon Berry Cheesecake Parfait: This completely vegan parfait uses cashews to add richness to its faux cheesecake. Since it’s dairy free, this delight won’t weigh you down. In fact, you’ll find the protein from the nuts and natural coconut sugar totally energizing. (via Vegan Yack Attack)

19. Blueberry Parfait Milkshake: Milkshakes for breakfast? Sign us up! A touch of vanilla extract makes this parfait taste more like dessert than breakfast. A spritz of whipped cream doesn’t hurt either. Spoon or sip to enjoy — it’s totally up to you. (via Brit + Co)

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”

Former Disney Channel star Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are certainly living the sweet life after tying the knot in Palvin's native Hungary. The couple, who have been together for nearly five years, have always been pretty low-key — except for the occasional and undeniably adorable Instagram post (and a stunning wedding!). We are simply ~obsessed~ with this celebrity couple, especially after they pulled out all the stops for their couple's Halloween costume. Keep scrolling to see some of their best moments :').

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

Barbara Palvin on Instagram: "♥️"

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!
