Strawberries & Cream Yogurt Parfait

Parfaits are easily one of my go-to snacks or simple breakfast options (like this triple berry oat one!). mainly because they’re simple to make and, when done right, a great healthy option for moms and kids! This strawberry yogurt parfait is just that! Easy, healthy and delicious.

While I’m not a big dairy person I do enjoy the benefits of greek yogurt. Not only is it tasty but it also has a high enough protein content in it to help balance the sugar release from whatever it’s paired with.

And while this strawberry yogurt parfait sounds and tastes decadent, it’s really very healthy and stabilizing.

For me, everything is a bit more decadent with coconut milk! It’s honestly just delicious and makes everything creamy. Paired with strawberries, it’s a quick way to make an ordinary snack (yogurt parfait) taste a little more indulgent.

Thankfully the fats in the coconut milk and the protein in the yogurt also mean that this snack is fuel of healthy and sustainable fuel that will keep your kids full!

It’s also got a kick of brain boosting fats thanks to the almonds and flaxseeds so overall this little parfait is extremely well rounded.

Whip up a jar of it for breakfast or a take with you snack for the kids and enjoy the dessert like snack!

Note: since posting this recipe I’ve gone dairy free (check out how to eliminate dairy here). I still make this all the time but not just use yoso coconut yogurt or daiya greek yogurt instead- still super tasty!
