Things to consider about this recipe:
- The Yogurt Parfait combines many sources of rich vitamins. Yogurt is probiotic-rich and can help with balancing your digestive system and boosting your immune system. Granola is full of fiber, proteins and soluble fats that can help with energy and lower cholesterol. Finally, fruits can help prevent cancer and help with a healthy heart.
- However, the yogurt parfait overall contains sugar and too much of it can lead to weight gain and increase your risk of diabetes. Portion is important for this breakfast so you can make sure you are not getting excess of what you don’t need.
