P90X Meal of the Week!(Breakfast)

Fruit Parfait

The Harvard School of Public Health recommends that most people have at least NINE half-cup servings of fruits and vegetables per day. So you can see that if you skip breakfast, you’re really putting the pressure on the rest of your meals. A diet high in fruits and veggies lowers the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, cancer, and blood sugar problems, as well as offering many other health benefits. This recipe layers yogurt with three different types of fresh fruit. You can substitute any other fruit (preferably seasonal) for one of the fruits in this recipe. (For anyone thinking of hitting the drive-thru at McDonald’s^® for its version of this recipe, you could do worse in an emergency, but this is way healthier.)

• 1-1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt (It costs $2 for a 32 0z container)
• 1 Tbsp. almonds, chopped fine (granola can replace almonds and falx seed)
• 1 Tbsp. flaxseed, ground
• 1/2 cup strawberries
• 1/2 cup banana’s
• 1/2 cup any other fruit-Rasberries, cantalope, bluberries

In a bowl, layer ingredients in the following order: 1/2 cup yogurt, followed by a sprinkle of almonds, flaxseed, and strawberries; repeat process with bananas and (whatever order of fruit you choose). If presentation isn’t that important to you, you could just mix it all up in a bowl and eat it. 

Preparation time: 5 minutes
