Easy Orange Apple Yogurt Parfait
I personally love yogurt parfaits because they’re an easy way to get great nutrients into kids (and us adults too!). Opt for greek yogurt and the parfait will not only be thick and creamy but filling too- making it an easy, summertime breakfast in a pinch!
This parfait is citrus based which is refreshing on a hot day and contains lots of healthy fats from flaxseed and walnuts. And with no processed sugar, it won’t leave your kids bouncing off the walls. There’s also a healthy dose of protein from the Greek yogurt and Vitamin C from the citrus fruit!
When choosing your yogurt, opt for a plain variation (enough sweetness comes from fruit and honey in this one!) and if you can, find a thicker brand. This will help keep the parfait creamy once it’s mixed with orange juice.
