Assembly Required
So I give you [as promised] my Yoplait Greek Honey Vanilla breakfast parfait. With a little love and assembly required, I have managed to put together a rather tasty, satisfying, rib-sticking breakfast. Preparing it in the wine glass adds a little flare- it makes it feel like a true treat... who knew yogurt parfaits could be so classy?
In the glass?
- 6 oz cup of Honey Vanilla Greek Yo
- 1/3 cup of local granola (any locals? I got this at Fresh Market; I went with the "Chunky Monkey" flavor...it's okay, I like my Bear Naked Fit a little better)!- Chopped strawberries
- Drizzle of agave
The Skinny: ~ 313 calories, 1 gm fat, 12 gm protein, 30% calcium, 20% vitamin D
This will vary depending on the type of granola you use and variations of serving sizes

2X Protein
I feel like it has been a while since I have dunked my spoon into a container of greek yogurt- next time remind me not to go so long! Man, have I missed this stuff! Not only was it like the greatest reunion between [wo]man and food but it was on sale at the local grocer! Yoplait Greek is available nationwide for a suggested retail of about $1.19 per 6 oz cup which is comparable to other greek yogurt.
I tend to always meander back to yoplait; it's thick, creamy texture is loaded with nutrients at a cheap caloric cost! It is one of the only greek yogurts' that has both calcium and vitamin D in one cup! Calcium and vitamin D work best together in the body; with the help of eachother they are absorbed more readily and can be used more efficiently in your body!
With twice the protein and 0% fat it makes a filling snack, great yogurt parfait for breakfast, smoothie for a quick lunch, mixed into baked goods or dip! For some of Yoplait's greatest greek recipes click here!!! (You may even get a coupon to try your favorite flavor today)!
Check back tomorrow 'greek goddesses'...
I am making a Yoplait Greek Honey Vanilla breakfast parfait to start off my day and blogging about 'Yoplait's recent Greek Goddess event'!
