Chocolate Breakfast Parfait

Last Monday I posted a Breakfast BerryParfait and promised that there would be a Nutella-based parfait to follow – here it is! This breakfast parfait is also based on a healthy breakfast version of a yummy ice cream sundae.

I love this sort of breakfast dish – visually appealing, can easily be adapted to suit different tastes, quick to whip up on a week-day morning, and tastes fantastic! Give this Chocolate Breakfast Parfait a whirl when you’re in a rush but still looking for a (fairly) healthy and tasty breakfast. If you have plastic dishes like the ones I've used, this recipe could also be a handy breakfast on the go.

On Friday night, my Official Treat Taster and I went to see a Michael Jackson show - Moonwalker led by Frederick Henry and a group of performers from Las Vegas. During one of the songs, 'Michael Jackson' threw his hat at me. I'd like to think it was because I was the most devastatingly beautiful woman in the front row, but I think it was more because my big head got in the way of whoever he was really trying to throw it to. A few kids got a few pairs of sunglasses, but I got his hat which is so much better, right?

Later on in the show, 'Michael' came over and stuck his hand out, wanting his hat back. I was tempted just to shake his hand and run out of the door with his hat, but the city can be quite scary at night and I wasn't really sure where we had parked the car so I reluctantly gave it back with a big pouty face. Maybe the sunglasses would have been better.

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Chocolate Breakfast Parfait

Ingredients

Greek yoghurt

Nutella

All-Bran Flakes

To Assemble

Spoon some Greek yoghurt into the bottom of your parfait glass and sprinkle on some All-Bran Flakes. In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yoghurt and Nutella – there is no ‘right’ amount, just mix in a small bit at a time until you find the flavour you like. Sprinkle more All-Bran Flakes on and top with a big dollop of Greek yoghurt. Place a few more All-Bran Flakes and top with a Nutella ‘cherry’ – a spoonful of chilled Nutella rolled into a ball.

Breakfast Berry Parfait

This Breakfast Berry Parfait is packed with everything you need to kick-start your day. Packed with strawberries and banana, and sprinkled with All-Bran cereal, this breakfast sundae tastes fantastic and is really healthy, too.

Did you know that a banana is a berry? Technically, the definition of a berry is a fruit which encases its seeds, so a banana is a berry, whereas a strawberry isn’t. Strawberry still has the word ‘berry’ in it though, which makes it a-okay to place in a Breakfast Berry Parfait if you ask me.

I whipped this up one morning in an attempt to make a healthy breakfast yoghurt look like a yummy ice cream sundae. The strawberry yoghurt is the ice cream, the fruit is well, fruit, the Greek yoghurt is whipped cream and the All-Bran Flakes are giant chocolate sprinkles.

You can adapt this recipe however you want – using whatever cereal, fruit and yoghurt you like best. If you like this recipe, don’t forget to check back next Monday – I’ll be posting a Nutella-Based Chocolate Breakfast Parfait!

Breakfast Berry Parfait

Ingredients

Sliced strawberries

Sliced banana

Strawberry yoghurt

Greek yoghurt

All-Bran Flakes

Assembling

Place a few strawberries in the bottom of your container and spoon some strawberry yoghurt on top. Sprinkle on a layer of All-Bran Flakes and dollop on some more strawberry yoghurt. Layer a few slices of banana then spoon on more strawberry yoghurt. Fill the rest of the container with sliced strawberries and banana. Spread Greek yoghurt on top of the fruit – try to make it look like whipped cream – then sprinkle a few All-Bran Flakes on top – they’re meant to be the chocolate sprinkles. Finish off by placing a few strawberry slices around the edge.
