Thoughts on Yoghurt parfait??

I think so - I like the ones that have nuts mixed with straberries

use bran buds in place of granola, and 0%mf greek yogourt

Do to all my research in nutrition school i've come to the conclusion that milk is not fit for human consumption as it causes congestion in the sinuses and mucus build up in the arteries causes major problems in the body and so much more. Excessive amounts of dairy products actually interfere with calcium absorption. Secondly, the excess of protein that the milk provides is a major cause of the osteoporosis problem.

any particular one you're thinking of or just in general? if you do them with greek yogurt they are sooo filling! just watch out for granola if you use it - very calorie dense.

I have them almost daily and love them. I use Dannon plain Greek yogurt and add half a scoop of vanilla protein powder with a little vanilla extract and some splenda...so good and really high in protein. Then I either add blackberries or strawberries and top it with about 1/4 cup of granola. For granola I use Target's Archer Farms brand of granola cereal, so for 1/4 cup there's only 90 calories and about 2 grams of fiber.

A lot of the store bought and restaurant chain yogurt parfaits are going to be really high in sugar and not have as much protein. Like McDonald's yogurt parfait has like 5 grams of protein and around 20 grans of sugar.

I know that Greek yogurt does have a lot of protein, even more than nuts, so don't worry if you don't want to sacrifice calories for a small portion of nuts! It is super important to have protein at breakfast though, so make sure you are eating high protein foods like milk and greek yogurt, and eggs!

Due to a medication I take in the morning I can't eat until I'm at work. I'm not a huge yogurt fan because the sweetened ones are so high in calories and sugars. Also, some of the textures are not appealing to me (e.g., the whipped yogurts). However, I have found that a 6 oz Light and Fit is great, along with a serving of almonds (28). I mix the almonds with the yogurt and it's a great texture contract. I found a Toasted Coconut Vanilla flavor that's very tasty with the almonds. I am quite full until lunch, although some days I have a cup of fruit around 10 mostly to address desk boredom temptations.

I think the key is finding the flavor and texture of the yogurt that you like and what combination of fruit and/or nuts is appealing. I felt the same way as you about nuts for a long time until I realized that the flavor, texture and nutritional value of many nuts made them a logical thing to incorporate in appropriate amounts.
