Yogurt parfait

Good morning!  How is everybodies Tuesday going so far? Well, today is a steamy humid day in Dallas, and I was in the mood for something light and yummy so I threw together one of my parfaits.  




If you couldn't tell that it was hot the moisture accumulating on the side of the glass is a sure sign! So yummy and refreshing!

I used Stoneyfield lowfat French vanilla yogurt but feel free to use Greek or plain; whatever calls to you.  I don't use a lot of Greek yogurt, because no matter what I do and nomatter how hard I try it just isn't my favorite nor my go to. 

Here we have layered:

 Organic local blueberries, 
Organic rolled oats (non GMO), 
Organic strawberries, 
Chia seeds,

All in all this little glass packs a mighty punch of vitamins and nutrients that are needed to get your day started! 

Blueberries are a great source of energy and I try to utilize these little guys every chance I get.  The chia seeds are a little superfood that contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates,protien, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium.  A standard serving size is generally 2 tbsp.

 Breakfast doesn't have to be complicated, and it is the most important meal of the day.  Your body needs to refuel after recharging itself from all that sleep you just got. You might not realize it but your body is doing a lot of hard work at night.  Feed your body so it has the fuel needed to keep you going.

You could easily prep this little guy the night before, store in the fridge, and them top with the oats on your way out the door ( to keep your oats a little crunchy). 

So eat up and enjoy!
