These breakfast parfaits look so pretty and colorful and are so tasty, you’d never know they’re also super healthy. The Greek yogurt is packed with protein, the quinoa is also high in protein and has double the amount of fiber of most grains, and the strawberries and kiwi are both high in vitamin C and antioxidants. What a way to start the day!

Reviews
The quinoa with the yogurt is so scrumptious and makes for a very filling breakfast!
Wow, what a show stopper….looks great! The yogurt doesn’t work for me at all. Maybe whipped cream or soft serve vanilla ice cream…not yogurt. I tred this for supper tonight as I came home late
and didn’t have time to “create a dinner” this was quick but the yogurt ruined it for me. I was hoping to use this as a meat replacement dish. Not happenning.I
