Have you ever had one of those fruit and yogurt parfaits from McDonalds? I love to make my own. I use vanilla yogurt, frozen strawberries and blueberries and top it off with some granola cereal. YUM!
If you want to use them for a PC Party or even if it's for you couldn't you use them for a coldstone strawberry shortcake ice cream creation?
