Chef's Note:
Yogurt parfaits are a classic easy breakfast. This “yogurt” parfait is packed full of healthy fat, fiber, and protein with just the just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy it for breakfast, a late afternoon snack or an elegant simple dessert.
Wait to top with nut/seed mixture if not serving immediately. You can use frozen berries in place of fresh if unavailable. This dish works great with blueberries, and blackberries too.
