You’ve got paperwork stacked up and meetings to attend. Generally, it’s going to be a busy week for you. So, all you want to have is a quick and simple breakfast that you can prepare on such hectic days. This SweetTreats’ YouTube video teaches you how to make a healthy breakfast parfait. A parfait is usually made from layers of yogurt, fruit, and granola. You can combine other toppings of your choice, but if you want to start your day by eating something healthy, then, you might want to be conscious of what ingredients you add to your parfait, as some offer less sugar and minimal fat while others don’t. After all, what you need to keep you going through your busy days is a nutrition-packed breakfast.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 12 granola cup
Directions:
To make your parfait, start by layering a small scoop of vanilla yogurt at the bottom of your glass. Then, add a layer of 1-2 tablespoons of granola. The yogurt and granola you use may contain added sugar, artificial flavorings, and preservatives, or may be healthier than others. So if you’re aiming to be healthy, choose a yogurt that contains fewer ingredients, especially less sugar.
As for choosing a healthy granola brand, it’s best for you to check its nutrition label. Just like when choosing a yogurt, the less sugar there is, the better. And, look for granola that’s whole grain, preferably the one that has add-ins like chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and the like, for added nutritional benefits.
Fill the cup with berries and top with another scoop of yogurt.You can also mix in some sliced bananas, fresh melons, and nuts.
