Dr Oz: On-The-Go Peanut Butter Parfait
One great grab and go breakfast is a parfait that you can make out of fat-free Greek yogurt, powdered peanuts, natural peanut butter, honey, strawberries, and granola or peanuts. Just layer the ingredients into a jar and enjoy! It’s an absolutely delicious and healthy breakfast, and a great way to get your daily dose of peanut butter!
The best part about this recipe is that you can add however much or little you want, and layer them just as you would like. I would probably mix the powdered peanuts and Greek yogurt, and be sure to put the strawberries and honey next to each other. But some would go ahead and mix the honey into something. How would you make this delicious parfait? Is there another healthy ingredient you would add? Or perhaps there’s another peanut butter recipe you have to share?
