You don’t need to choose between health and convenience for breakfast, because with this high protein yogurt parfait you can have both! Delicious and wholesome, this easy, one bowl, gluten free breakfast checks all of the boxes.
This high protein yogurt parfait is less of a recipe and more of a method, but I’m putting it here on the website so that I can log the quantities and nutrition facts/macros to include in future weeks of the Prioritizing Protein Meal Plans.
With 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup of granola, this is a hearty portion that will keep you going all morning. If using this as a snack or even a little after dinner treat, you can cut the amounts in half and it will be more than satisfying.
Recipe Notes:
I used my homemade high protein granola for this yogurt parfait, but you can substitute any granola of your choice – I will break out the nutrition info for the granola in the recipe notes below so that you can replace the totals with whatever granola you choose.
For the highest protein and lowest calories in this yogurt parfait, I used 0% nonfat greek yogurt (I’m a fan of Fage, but any brand will do.)
I used honey as the sweetener in this recipe, but you can use maple syrup or even a sugar free pancake syrup or allulose syrup if you want to lower the carb content.
This high protein yogurt parfait is gluten free and made with whole food ingredients that you can feel good about serving to your family, and even to guests.
It’s fantastic for a brunch table, and you can put the parfaits together in pretty glasses like I did, or set up the separate components and let each guest make their own.
I like the crunch of the granola when the parfaits are made within an hour of eating, but if you don’t mind the granola softening, you can make this high protein yogurt parfait the night before, or even make several to pull out of the fridge throughout the week.
No matter how you choose to eat it, this high protein yogurt parfait is a tasty and satisfying treat, that will help you meet your protein target for the day.
