LOWER CARB HEALTHY BREAKFAST PARFAIT
This is our five-days a week breakfast and it has it all: it's low carb, hi-protein, a good source of fiber, dairy and antioxidants. It's creamy, sweet, crunchy and has great flavor. Ant it'll last you all morning. PS: The carb count the site has computed on this is not accurate - the TVP has about 2 g. carbs, the flax seed meal is a wash, the coconut has about 2, the berries are about 6, the yogurt and cottage cheese about 8: and remember, the natural milk sugars in unsweetened yogurt don't impact blood sugars the way refined sugars do.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start assembling your parfaits, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and ensure that your parfaits are made perfectly.
- Use fresh, ripe berries: Fresh, ripe berries will give your parfaits the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
- Sweeten to your taste: The amount of sweetener you add to your parfaits is up to you. Taste the berries and yogurt before adding any sweetener, as they may be sweet enough on their own.
- Layer your parfaits carefully: When layering your parfaits, start with a layer of yogurt, then a layer of berries, and then another layer of yogurt. Repeat this process until you have reached the desired height.
- Chill your parfaits before serving: Chilling your parfaits before serving will help them set and make them easier to eat. You can chill them for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
