What you need for this yogurt parfait
Equipment
Yogurt
You can use vanilla yogurt or plain greek yogurt for this recipe. While regular yogurt tends to have fewer calories and more calcium, Greek yogurt has more protein and less sugar — and a much thicker consistency. Each type of yogurt packs probiotics and support digestion, weight loss, and heart health.
Almond butter
Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are so good for you!
Honey
A natural sweetener, and when eaten together, the protein in the yogurt and carbohydrates in the honey will allow those who exercise to have more energy, have a faster healing process (for those who do intense workouts), and recover the natural way.
Granola
Homemade or favorite granola from the grocery store, you can’t go wrong! Adding crunchy granola to these healthy yogurt parfaits add texture, flavor and nutrition!
Fresh Blueberries
Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits! They provide a natural sweetness that balances the tartness of Greek yogurt without the need for added sugars, keeping the parfait a healthy choice for breakfast.
How to assemble yogurt parfaits
Start by creating your blueberry syrup or blueberry sauce.
Then mix Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.
Then build your parfait! Layer vanilla greek yogurt on the bottom of the mason jar, followed by the next layer of the berry syrup, granola, and almond butter yogurt mixture, more granola and then fresh fruit!
Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy!
