Alas, school is starting, and the long, fun, free days of summer are coming to a close. As I prepare for this coming school year with my kids, I find myself looking for easy meal ideas. I really can’t have too many of these. Hence, the idea of Breakfast Yogurt and Fruit Parfaits. These lovely, healthy, and delicious parfaits are scrumptious, and even the most picky little one will enjoy these. The main reason is, when you eat these Breakfast Yogurt and Fruit Parfaits it feels like dessert, and who doesn’t like eating dessert for breakfast?
Inspiration for this came the way much of my inspiration comes, I looked in my refrigerator and pieced together the left over food. I guess, I feel my meal ideas is a continual Chopped contest. (Am I the only one?!) I really try not to waste. There I was, I had everything I needed in my fridge and cupboard. I pieced these together in about 10 minutes.
The best part about these is that you can totally make these the night before, for meal prep. This makes for an easy grab and go breakfast. And if you have a mason jar, you could totally take it with you. Just don’t forget your spoon;-)
Another great perk to this breakfast is that one could change the fruit depending on the season or preference, and the template for making it would be the same. It would be just as delicious. Here is the recipe, its more of a template. You should definitely make this breakfast, believe me it will go into the regular breakfast rotation!
