YOGURT PARFAIT RECIPE THAT IS LOW CARB
AND KETO-FRIENDLY
09-18-2019
Yogurt parfaits are a classic easy breakfast. This “yogurt” parfait is packed full of fat, fiber, and protein with just the just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy it for breakfast or a late afternoon snack.
Nuts are fantastic sources of fat, fiber and protein. Generally, the fat in nuts is monounsaturated, as well as omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fat. Nuts also pack a number of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and vitamin E. The small but mighty chia seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on the plane. Chia seeds are packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
