Yogurt Parfait Cups | Make Ahead High Protein

Yogurt Parfait Cups | Make Ahead High Protein


  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Diet: High Protein, Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (optional, for extra protein)
  • 2 cups Fresh Mixed Berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1 cup Low-Sugar Granola
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
  • 4 Mason Jars or Airtight Containers (8 oz size)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey. If you want to maximize the protein content, stir in two scoops of your favorite vanilla protein powder until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no clumps of powder left behind for the best texture.
  2. Take your four mason jars and place a small handful of mixed berries at the bottom of each. Sprinkle half a tablespoon of chia seeds over the berries. The chia seeds will absorb some of the fruit juices and create a jam-like consistency while adding fiber and healthy fats.
  3. Divide the yogurt mixture evenly among the four jars, spooning it gently over the fruit layer. Press the yogurt down slightly with the back of a spoon to remove any air pockets. Top the yogurt with the remaining berries. Do not add the granola yet if you are making these days in advance.
  4. Tighten the lids on your jars and place them in the refrigerator. These will stay fresh for up to 4 days. When you are ready to eat, simply grab a jar, sprinkle on 1/4 cup of granola, and enjoy your high-protein breakfast on the go.
