HEALTHY GRANOLA PARFAIT

Not only do you get a ton of protein (to keep you full for hours) but it is also packed with fiber and chia seeds (think fiber and omega 3’s). You can then use your favorite granola, it is hard to find a granola that has it all, but I like Purely Elizabeth Grain Free or my homemade Super Granola.
A LOW-SUGAR, LOW-FAT VERY INDULGENT YOGURT PARFAIT. REAL AND SIMPLE INGREDIENTS.
You can add in any fruit you fancy and preferably what is in-season. I love the combo of blueberries and strawberries. Flax seeds or raw almonds instead of chia seeds work great too. You could also add a fancy drizzle of a good quality raw honey.
I love how this recipe is kid-friendly too and a great snack after school.
Great the next day too – so you could even make a few of these ahead of time. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups of your favorite low-sugar yogurt I usually use organic greek yogurt, unsweetened coconut yogurt or goats milk Kefir
  • 1 tablespoons chia or basil seeds or you can also use as mentioned flax seeds or almonds
  • 1/4-1/2 cup blueberries divided
  • 1/2 banana sliced
  • 1/2 cup granola divided
  • Any other toppings you like for example nuts, dried fruit, hemp seeds and raw honey

Instructions
 

  • Place yogurt and chia seeds in a small bowl and mix together.
  • Next add some of the yogurt mixture in a parfait glass. Next add a sprinkle of granola, a layer of your fruit, anything else you prefer here.
  • Next repeat the layers starting back with the yogurt, until you get to the top and layer the very top granola.
  • Optional is a drizzle of raw honey. Enjoy!
