We’ve been sharing some yummy breakfast ideas the past two months as we know that many of us lead such busy lives that we can often forget about getting a good breakfast. But I have realized how important it is to start my day off with a breakfast that is both healthy and nutritious, but also filling, so that I am not tempted to snack on & off during the day.
One of my favorite breakfasts when I am out & about early for a meeting is to pick up a yogurt & granola parfait at a coffee shop, but I have not been the best about making these at home, so I decided to come up with some better options to save money and eat more healthy when I’m at home. I typically am so busy rushing around getting my girls breakfast, making lunches & making sure they’re not forgetting their homework that I run out of time to eat myself, so I need quick options like these yogurt parfaits.
We have really been into kiwi fruit lately and I love kiwi with strawberries (inspired by my favorite Snapple drink – Kiwi Strawberry). So I decided to mix those two fruits together along with a few other ingredients to create a yummy yogurt parfait! You can even make ahead these parfaits to make it even faster with your busy mornings.
I love getting that extra nutritious boost from eating Kashi cereals, too. I bought the Kashi Go Lean Crisp with Toasted Berry Crumble & it has 9 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber and 16 grams of whole grains in every 3/4 cup serving. Plus all Kashi cereal is non-GMO project verified, so you don’t have to be worried about what’s inside the food you’re eating or serving your kids. When you combine that with greek yogurt & your favorite fruit, that makes for a very healthy, quick breakfast on the go!
Kiwi Berry Yogurt Parfait
Ingredients:
1 cup granola / oats (I used Kashi Go Lean Crisp Toasted Berry Crumble)
1 cup yogurt (I used vanilla greek yogurt)
1/4 cup blueberries
2-3 kiwi cut up
3-4 strawberries cut up
Chocolate chips, optional (I used just a handful of semi-sweet just to add a little hint of chocolate flavor)
*These are all measurements according to taste and what you prefer. You may want more greek yogurt or more/less fruit depending on what you like.
Directions:
Layer the ingredients one at a time for 2-3 layers (if you’ll be saving this for a day or two in the fridge it’s best to layer as it will keep it fresher) .
If you’ll be eating right away, you can either layer the ingredients or mix it all together, whatever you like best to taste all the flavors.
