Any breakfast lovers out there? As in, you go to bed literally pumped about what you’re going to eat for breakfast in the morning? No? Just me? Tell me I’m not the only one!
I am the ultimate breakfast lover if there ever was one! And if you’ve been hanging out here on Jar Of Lemons for pretty much any given length of time, then you know how I’m all about that yogurt parfait/yogurt bowl life. They’re so easy to make, a great way to start your day off with protein, and they’re SO delicious!
What’s in a yogurt parfait?
Yogurt parfaits are pretty easy to make. Simply mix yogurt (greek yogurt for added protein), granola, and fruit of choice in a bowl, cup, or jar!
Looking for added protein? I’m loving Nature Valley Granola Protein Oats N’ Honey Crunchy Granola in these yogurt parfaits! Like….really loving, y’all. Sooooo good and perfect for a quick and easy breakfast solution! I also love it in a bowl with almond milk. And if we’re really being honest, I’m also loving it just straight out of the bag. It’s the perfect snack, y’all!
If you’re a granola addict like I am, be sure to grab Nature Valley granola in the cereal aisle next time you’re at Walmart! They’re easy to find (thanks, Walmart!), have a wide variety of flavor options, and so perfect for these yogurt parfaits. Even better, you can easily pick up all these ingredients at Walmart making this ingredient list a one-stop-shopping trip.
