It’s rich, creamy yet crunchy texture and decadent flavor really brightens my mornings.

Nutrient Packed Parfait
This parfait is made with tasty and healthy ingredients! Greek yogurt, known for its delicious creamy texture, is high in protein. Eating a high protein breakfast can boost meal satiety and keep you fuller for longer. It also supports muscle growth and cellular function. Greek yogurt is a great source of calcium as well, which is important for bone health. On top of that, granola is a great way to get whole grains into your diet. It is high in fiber, B vitamins, and iron. Just make sure you grab a whole grain version at the supermarket. And we can’t forget about the chocolate! Cocoa powder alone has some awesome benefits!
The Many Benefits of Chocolate
Chocolate is a nutrient-rich, antioxidant-packed food. Antioxidants in chocolate have been shown to have the potential to reduce cardiovascular issues, cognitive decline, and cholesterol. New research has even begun to review chocolate’s beneficial effects on aging and conditions, such as inflammation, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. This is wonderful news for many of us chocolate lovers!
Sweet & Simple
Make this five-ingredient, single serving parfait in two simple steps! Start by mixing the Greek yogurt with cocoa powder in a bowl. You can use plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt here, depending on how you want it to taste. Plain will be more tart, while vanilla will give you a sweeter parfait. You can also use whole, low fat, or no fat Greek yogurt for this recipe. Whichever works best for you!
Once you’ve got your chocolate yogurt ready, start stacking! In a bowl or cup, add a layer using half of the Greek yogurt, then half of the granola, and then half of the berries. Repeat these layers once more, then top with chocolate chips. Serve immediately or place in the fridge for later!
