Cherry & Blueberry Yogurt Parfait

Aug 15, 2024

I've been getting a lot of requests lately for high protein breakfast options that aren't egg based. I realized this was not surprising after sharing an Instagram post & poll yesterday about eggs sometimes giving people the ick haha. In case you missed it, here's the post and poll results:

So, naturally I decided to do an EGG FREE breakfast recipe that is well balanced with protein, fibre, and antioxidant rich fruit too. This is a simple, yet nutrient-packed breakfast (or snack!) that is definitely worth adding into your rotation!

Cherry & Blueberry Yogurt Parfait
(makes 2 servings)
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • ½  cup oat milk (or other milk of choice!)
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup cherries (pitted, halved)
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 1 ½ tsp honey (optional)
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
 
Directions:
  1. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, oat milk, flax, and chia seeds together until smooth.
  2. Layer the yogurt mixture, cherries, and blueberries into individual serving glasses, bowls, or jars.
  3. If desired, drizzle the honey over the fruit layers. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used.
  4. Top the parfait with pumpkin seeds and cinnamon. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
  5. Enjoy!
 
Notes:
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to two days.
  • One serving is approximately 1 1/2 cups.
  • To make dairy free use plant-based yogurt instead (and consider adding protein powder for higher protein).
