Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits - Recipe Diaries (2024)

Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits are delicious for a high protein packed breakfast or even as a quick snack. If you don't have fancy glasses or jars just the parfaits in a bowl. Use your favorite fruit or whatever is in season. These are very Weight Watcher Friendly!

Since eggs are super expensive these days, I thought I'd reshare some breakfast recipes that are healthy and don't cost an arm and a leg to make like this fruit and yogurt parfait. I actually make fruit and yogurt parfaits all the time now but add chia seeds for some extra fiber and some peanut butter for some fat.

If I don't have any yogurt I pretty much do the same thing with cottage cheese. Try my Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls (High Protein).

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Fruit and Yogurt parfaits are my go to breakfast recipe lately. They are loaded with protein from the Greek Yogurt and they are also low in sodium. Lately, I've been adding peanut butter which is roughly around 7 grams depending on what brand you get.

The recipe is so simple. I took some frozen mixed berries and defrosted them for 1 minute in the microwave. If you don’t have frozen fruit use fresh!

Then I layered some greek yogurt in a jar and some Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal. It tastes exactly like granola to me and for ¼ cup the smart points is 2 If you can't find this use homemade or storebought granola.

This whole entire parfait is 2 smart points. I just love fruit and yogurt parfaits and I’m so happy I finally have a low point version to eat for Breakfast now that comes together FAST.

Ingredients Needed

• Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal or just use your favorite granola mix.
• Greek yogurt is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet. My favorite Greek Yogurt is Sigis.
• Frozen mixed berries or fresh fruit - Whether you enjoy mixed berries on their own, in a smoothie, or as a topping for your favorite yogurt or oatmeal, they are a delicious and nutritious addition to any diet. So go ahead and indulge in this tasty treat - your body will thank you for it! They are also a great source of Fiber. 1 cup of berries has 8 grams of fiber per serving.
• Add-Ins - I like to add some Peanut Butter for Extra Protein. My yogurt bowls in the morning end up being about 25 to 30 grams of protein per bowl.

How to make Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits

Step 1: In a small microwave safe bowl defrost from frozen fruit in the microwave for 1 minute. If you don’t have frozen fruit use whatever fruit you have in the fridge.

Step 2: Add ½ cup of greek yogurt to the bottom of a jar or glass. Then add ½ the fruit and ½ the granola. Repeat this step one more time or until all your fruit, yogurt, and granola are gone.

Enjoy! So super simple and easy to make.
