Fruit and Oatmeal Breakfast Parfait
Oatmeal is a heart healthy powerhouse food. This Fruit and Oatmeal Breakfast Parfait recipe is a fabulous option to get your daily dose of oatmeal in an entirely different way. While fresh is best, frozen berries also work well in this recipe because they release extra juice as they defrost, which will add moisture and sweetness to the parfait. It’s best to prepare the oatmeal/yogurt mixture the night before to allow the oatmeal to reach the desired consistency. Enjoy with blueberries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, bananas or your other favorite fruits. Alternating the variety of nuts you include will provide additional nutrients and flavors. Enjoy your new breakfast recipe. Please share your creations and ideas in the comments below!
