Morning Protein Berry Parfaits

Ahhh the morning! There’s nothing more exciting to a foodie like me than waking up to a bright and shiny new day of EATING. You literally have a clean plate (hehe I won’t lie, I laughed at my own pun just now) to work with and the best part of the morning- breakfast – is tantalizing close. What should we eat? The world is our oyster!

Oh, how about a lovely little protein berry parfait? Perfect, I’ll take 10.

Breakfast is all about balance for me. Balance in terms of health, where I want to get my nom on (please excuse that I just used that phrase, I’m kinda embarrassed) but also want to my meals to be filled with nutrients (both macro and micro!) to help keep my body running at its best. Lucky for me, the kind people at Lifestyle Shake were kind enough to provide me with a big tub of their Renew Life Skinny Gut Vanilla Shake which is just a POWERHOUSE of a supplement. It comes with 20 grams of organic, grain-free protein fromseeds and legumes to help build muscle, 10 grams of prebiotic organic fiber, including acacia fiber, to help curb appetite by helping you feel full, organic fruit and veggie antioxidant blend plus vitamins and minerals, and full-spectrum digestive enzyme blend to support healthy digestion and help optimize nutrient availability*. Not a vanilla fan? Try the Renew Life Skinny Gut Chocolate Shake!

Another type of balance for me is the actual consistency of food. I’ve always had this weird dislike of eating regular yogurt straight out of the carton because it just seems so boring and the lack of anything but gelatinous texture makes me feel like I’m eating baby food. Not the case in this quick breakfast recipe, though! My creaaamy greek yogurt and protein powder blend practically begs to be topped with fresh fruit and sprinkled (smothered) with deliciously crunchy walnuts. Thump thump thump. Do you hear that? That’s the sound of my heart trying to burst out of my chest for the love of that combination. Be still, my friend.

To make this breakfast, simply mix your favorite greek yogurt flavor with some of the protein powder and layer it into a glass of your choice! I choose to sprinkle walnuts in every section for that extra texture, but if you aren’t a big nut person, feel free to replace them with something more up your alley.
