Real ingredients + half the sugar

Your mother’s old adage is so true… breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. It helps increase your energy and performance, gain focus, and even lose weight… but you probably already knew all that! What you might not know is how much sugar and unhealthy ingredients are added into many of your favorite “breakfast” foods, such as flavored yogurt and granola.

To take the guesswork out of what you’re eating, this parfait is made with plain Greek yogurt and is sweetened with honey. For healthy granola that’s made with real ingredients check out these simple recipes:

• Chocolate Lover’s Granola
• Crunchy Pumpkin Spice Granola
• Crunchy Maple Coconut Granola

A great pre/post-workout snack

Headed for a long run or bike ride? A small serving (about 1/4 cup) of this Blueberry Yogurt Parfait makes a delicious pre/post-workout snack. The protein from the yogurt helps to prevent muscle damage and the oats release a steady stream of carbs during your workout, so your energy levels will stay consistent. Eat 30-60 minutes before exercising.
