Healthy Breakfast Parfait with Greek Yogurt

Sometimes, it is difficult to get breakfast going with mornings being super busy. So, when I have time, I prepare this healthy breakfast and leave it in the fridge to either pack a single portion in the morning or grab a bite when I am craving something sweet in the afternoon. Usually sustains me for a week. Last night I prepared this while watching Oscars.



Ingredients:
1 tub (32 oz.) dannon light and fit greek yogurt (vanilla flavor)
1 cups raspberries
1 tsp sugar
1 banana
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
6 slices Sara lee 45 calories multigrain bread
1 can sliced peaches in light syrup


 Method:
1. Prep raspberries 1 - 2hrs ahead of time. Wash and drain raspberries and sprinkle one tsp of sugar over them. coat them with sugar and gently mash them with the spoon to make the juices flow.
2. Toast the bread slices, trim edges and cut each slice into 4 squares.
3. Arrange as follows:
  •  One layer of 3 slices of toast
  • half of the raspberry mixture
  • half tub of greek yogurt
  • sliced strawberries
  • another layer of 3 slices of toast
  • remaining half of raspberry mixture
  • sliced banana
  • remaining half a tub of greek yogurt
