Healthy Breakfast Idea: Brit’s Perfect Power Protein Parfait

No Comments

Recently I tried (and became obsessed) with Ladera Natural Almond Pecan Granola.  Ordinarily I try to stay away from granola because I tend to overeat it and consequently consume way too much sugar.  However, I do enjoy a Greek yogurt parfait occasionally because I can set some healthy boundaries and control the granola portion.  When I tried Ladera granola I was instantly hooked because it tastes amazing – the original almond pecan flavor has a delicious, cinnamon, maple nutty taste.  Better yet, 1 serving  has only 4g of sugar – YAY!  So this morning I whipped up my own “Perfect Power Protein Parfait” for breakfast and of course I have to share the recipe with you guys.  Altogether it’s only 300 calories, loaded with protein and kept me feeling full throughout the morning.  Try it for yourself this week by following these 4 simple steps…

Step 1: Start with a single serving of Greek Yogurt

  2. Shay you are right but it also very simple to do.

    In my scenario i have to be careful with almonds, i love them! and i tend to eat a big bulk of them, even that they are healthy is very bad when you eat a lot of anything.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe Brittani.
