This is a very busy week for me. My Dad's Memorial Service is this Saturday, and I have company coming Thursday. I 'm still planting flowers, and I have to do the usual cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. I need a power breakfast for sure. I took my cooked rolled oats that I usually eat every day, and dressed them up. I layered the cooked cinnamon oatmeal with Strawberry Greek yogurt, added more strawberries, topped with walnuts for crunch, and another strawberry. Not only does this parfait taste great, it is packed with nutrition, with the added protein from the Greek yogurt. You can use your favorite flavor of yogurt and fruits. Change up the nuts as well. You will have so much energy, and it's so healthy besides. Let me know what other flavor combo's you concoct. This would be fun to let the kids make this fun breakfast treat. They will think that they are eating dessert for breakfast Enjoy.
Oatmeal Yogurt Breakfast Parfait with Strawberries
1 c cooked rolled oats or you favorite cooked cereal or quinoa
1 5-6 oz container of yogurt- I used strawberry Greek yogurt,
1 Tbsp of chopped nuts I used walnuts
sliced fresh fruit- I used strawberries, my fave.
Layer the cooked oatmeal with a layer of fruit and Greek yogurt. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, and more fresh fruit. Enjoy!
Becky this is a truly elegant breakfast parfait. This really almost fits the adage of, "life's short - eat dessert first." But with all those healthy ingredients we don't have to feel guilty about it! I will be thinking about you this week and send you a big, foodie friend hug.

This is a tasty layering of elements. Oats berries and yogurt I am turning to more and more with the hotter weather. An ice cold one of these is a great way to start the day! Glad you are staying busy and blessings to you this week!
