I recently did a post about a Breakfast Parfait that used mangoes. My husband doesn't like mangoes and they aren't always available so I was looking for other options. This week Whole Foods had organic strawberries on sale so I decided to adapt the breakfast parfait for them. You could also do the same with fresh blueberries when they are in season, or peaches or nectarines. Just make sure to adjust the calorie total for the fruit.
Breakfast Parfait: 361 calories for the whole thing
1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Oats,
95 calories
1 cup Fage 0% Greek Yogurt, 130 calories
2 Medjool Dates, 41 calories
1 tsp Earth Balance Organic Buttery Spread, 26 calories
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, 69 calories
Make a granola mixture by melting the Earth Balance in a skillet and adding the oats. Stir over low heat till fragrant and golden. Finely chop the dates and blend in with the oats. Sprinkle cinnamon if desired. Add just enough water for the oat/date mixture to begin to bind together in clumps, about a tablespoon or two at the most. Stir over low heat just till water is absorbed. Set aside.
Dice mango. In glass, spoon about a third of the yogurt. Add about a third of the mango. Sprinkle a bit of the granola mixture. Repeat layers.
