Breakfast Parfait Jar

This is a complete breakfast in a jar, literally. Take it on the go and forget about the drive-thru; a do-it-yourself parfait can be so much healthier and tastier than fast-food versions. With antioxidant-rich berries and protein-packed Greek yogurt, you can't go wrong.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 Cup nonfat milk
  • 1/4 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Teaspoon chia seeds
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 Cup diced strawberries
  • 1/2 Cup blueberries
  • 1/2 Tablespoon peanut butter
  • Granola, to taste

Directions

The night before, place the oats, milk, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a bowl, and stir, cover, and leave in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, layer in a jar in this order: ¼ cup of the yogurt, ¼ cup of the strawberries, ¼ cup of the blueberries, oatmeal, peanut butter, followed by the remaining yogurt, strawberries, and blueberries. Sprinkle with granola.

Breakfast Shopping Tip

What’s the difference between brown and white eggs? Besides color, nothing – different breeds of chicken account for the differences in color – quality and freshness are what really count.

Breakfast Cooking Tip

In addition to keeping foods like granola, yogurt, and fruit on hand, plan ahead for hectic weekdays by whipping up extra batches of waffles or pancakes and individually freezing them for easy morning meals.
