I love yogurt for breakfast or even for brunch. It’s high protein and easily topped with all your favorites. I’m a big fan of adding fruit to mine and perhaps some granola. This Lemon Pistachio Granola would be a great addition to this simple yogurt parfait. Consider this for when you’re hosting guests or a brunch. It’s easily made head of time so you don’t have to worry about prepping the day of the event. Guests can just grab one if they choose. Or consider it the perfect grab and go breakfast.
Ingredients
- Apricot Preserves – Use your favorite brand of apricot preserves
- Vanilla Yogurt – I love to use a thick Greek or Icelandic skyr. You can use plain or vanilla flavored.
- Coconut Flakes – Unsweetened and lightly toasted on the stovetop
- Pecans – Chopped into small pieces and toasted for best flavor
- Raspberries – You can sub in fresh strawberries if you don’t like the raspberries.
Recipe Tips
- Use your favorite plain or vanilla yogurt. I recommend something on the thick side like a Greek yogurt or Icelandic Skyr
- You can substitute strawberries instead of the raspberries
- Toasting the coconut and the pecans enhances the flavors of both. Toast them ahead of time for easy quick prep
- You can use sweetened coconut flakes and you can still toast them, just watch that they don’t burn
- You can also find already toasted coconut flakes at some supermarkets
