This yogurt parfait has tons of bang for the buck. It is loaded with nutrient dense ingredients, it is high protein, it doesn’t have refined sugars and best of all it tastes like an apple cream pie. I am always trying to satisfy my nagging sweet tooth. My goal is to not grab fat and sugar filled goodies for quick snacks. In this little recipe, yogurt is your cream base and the warmed fruit, flax seed, butter, nuts and cinnamon combine to form the crumbly topping. This is a perfect way to start your day or a great afternoon mini meal to re-boot your energy levels.
The kids will also love to layer their own parfaits. Have them choose their favorite ingredients too.
