Easy Breakfast Parfait – This parfait layers yogurt, granola, and fresh sliced strawberries for a fast breakfast with less guilt.
I have to admit something to you.
I’m not really a breakfast person.
Yea, I know, it is the most important meal of the day…yada yada yada. Yes, I agree, but for some reason, it just has never been a big deal to me. Actually, I find that if I eat a big breakfast in the morning I usually end up with a mild case of the sleepiness.
For this reason in the morning throughout the week, I usually keep it light and have a smoothie with a side of toast, but lately, I have been enjoying making a parfait and I find that if I pair this with a fresh juice, then I am good to go. What I like even more about making a parfait for breakfast is that once you slice up the fruit the only thing that is left to do is place it along with some yogurt and fruit into a container and you have yourself an easy breakfast parfait in a matter of minutes.
Now I love making granola at home myself, but you can really use any kind that you find already made in the store. And there are lots of options and I will also use those if I am being lazy and don’t want to make it myself. A parfait can also be customized to fit anyone, if you are a vegan then use non-dairy yogurt, not a fan of strawberries, then us any other fruit that you prefer.
The possibilities are truly endless with this recipe. If you decide to give this recipe a try please share with me the ingredients that you use in the comment section below because sharing is caring.
