hey friends! I hope you are doing well! Today’s post is about one of my favorite high protein, homemade snacks! I don’t really like yogurt all that much, especially plain, but there are so many delicious toppings and spices that you can add to make it a little sweeter, and look amazing!
How to make a yogurt parfait/bowl:
- Start off with some yogurt! I prefer greek yogurt because it’s better for you and less runny and watery than normal yogurt, but feel free to use whatever kind you prefer!!
2. Add your flavor mix-in
Some of my favorites are…
-Strawberry Jelly (jelly that is like Smuckers Grape jelly and is basically gelatin wont work, I prefer organic for parfaits)
-PB Fit Peanut butter powder
-Chocolate Shaklee Life Shake
Some other ideas are…
-Blueberry Jelly
-A fruit smoothie
-Peanut Butter
-Organic Cocoa
-Honey
-Maple Syrup
-Cinnamon
3. Add in your toppings
Some of my favs…
-Granola (make sure it’s low sugar so it’s still healthy!)
-Fresh Fruit
ex. Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Peaches, Pineapple
-Berry Bake
-Chocolate Chips
-Butterscotch Chips
Some other ideas..
-Chia seeds
-Crushed Almonds
-Shredded Coconut
-Sea Salt (NOT TABLE SALT)
-Cocoa Nips (the healthier version of Chocolate Chips)
-Dried Fruit
-Yogurt Covered Raisins
-Rolled Oats
