Revitalize your mornings with a burst of flavor and energy courtesy of our loaded breakfast parfait. This delightful concoction is a symphony of creamy Greek yogurt, velvety heavy cream, and rich almond butter, perfectly complemented by the sweetness of raspberries and the crunch of pecans. With a touch of protein powder for an added protein boost, this parfait is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients to fuel your day.
If you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt, there are some alternatives. If unsweetened skyr is available near you, it’s got a similar consistency but is slightly lower in fat and higher in protein. Coconut cream could also be a viable option as a replacement (just be mindful the calories), or you can make your own coconut yogurt by following this recipe. Cottage cheese is also a great alternative if you’re in a pinch or just prefer the flavor.
This recipe is super easy to put together and can be customized to fit your tastes and preferences. Mix and match the toppings as you want. Use blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries – just keep the carb counts in mind. Swap out the almond butter for your personal favorite. Or swap the pecans out for different nuts or seeds. You can add dry spices to the yogurt mix if you want to change it up on different days – a pinch of cinnamon can go a long way!
