In the last few years I’ve really developed a taste for yogurt, and the yogurt in the Netherlands was extra tasty! I had something very similar to this on the food tour (How I Ate My Way Through Amsterdam). I loved it so much that I decided to try and make my own version. You can use this recipe as a starting point and then make it your own. That’s what I love about parfaits, smoothies, etc – you can use whatever you like/have on hand (and you really don’t even have to measure). Because you’re probably like me and rarely (if ever) have time to make a recipe for breakfast that requires actual measuring. I’m usually rushing to get a protein smoothie made before I head out the door in the morning (and wondering why I thought it was a good idea to hit snooze a second time haha). If you like delicious, easy, healthy, and protein-packed breakfasts this “recipe” is perfect. Give it a try! Enjoy!
