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.
