Breakfast Parfait
This is a great combo of a few recipes we've already made.
Check out my Chia Pudding and Granola posts if you'd like to make the entire parfait from scratch.
If you tend to have a sweet tooth in the morning, this is a great option to curb that sugar craving in a healthy way.
Plus, there are heaps of nutrients within this mixture, so you'll feel not only satisfied but also ENERGIZED throughout your morning.

1. Once Chia Pudding and Granola are finished, make sure both are set and cool
2. Choose glassware of your choice (I like stemless wine glasses or mason jars)
3. Start with a bottom layer of Chia Pudding, about 1/2 cup (or to your liking)
4. Layer 1 - 2 tablespoons of nut butter on top of Chia Pudding
5. Add 1/2 cup of Granola (or to your liking) above nut butter
6. Top off with fresh fruits of your choice
7. Option to add additional seeds, dried fruit, cacao nibs, and/or nuts
Serve
Eat as is, this baby is perfect!
If you're looking for added protein at the start of your day, then include more nut butter, hemp seeds, and/or other nuts.
If you're looking for more fiber at the start of your day, then lay off of the dried fruit, and go a little lighter on the granola. Add more fresh fruits on!!
