Berry Yogurt Make-Ahead Breakfast Parfaits THM-E
Make-ahead breakfast parfaits are perfect for busy households! Just grab your breakfast out of the fridge and you’re ready to go!
A few years ago, I discovered this simple breakfast idea. After making it once, I was hooked!
I’m a huge fan of anything that saves time in the kitchen, especially early in the morning (like this make-ahead breakfast casserole).
As an added bonus, this easy breakfast is also healthy (it’s sugar-free!), and it’s a Trim Healthy Mama E meal.
The delicious combination of yogurt, berries, chia seeds, and oats makes this a great healthy breakfast or snack idea.
How to Make This Simple, Healthy Breakfast
This recipe will make one parfait, but you can easily make more than that. I often make two of them at a time, but you could just as easily make enough for the whole family!
Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:
Links below are my affiliate links. Read my disclosure here.
- 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup oats
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp vanilla (optional. Learn how to make homemade vanilla extract.)
- 7 drops vanilla stevia drops (optional)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- wide-mouth pint size Mason jars
Combine the Greek yogurt, oats, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and vanilla drops in a bowl. Stir well.
Layer half of the yogurt mixture in a wide-mouth Mason jar.
Then add half of the berries to the jar. Add the rest of the yogurt mixture and the other half of the berries to the jar.
Add a lid, and refrigerate. The parfaits will stay good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

I don’t do rolled oats anymore, but sometimes I will do steel cut oats. (Many people don’t know that rolled oats contain other ingredients and aren’t as healthy as steel cut oats, which are simply oats cut with steel blades, nothing else is added)
[From Foodnetwork .com:To make rolled oats, the groats are steamed and flattened between heavy rollers.
After rolled oats are steamed and flattened, they’re dried in a kiln TO ADD FLAVOR and to deactivate a naturally occurring enzyme in the oat that can break down fats into fatty acids (the fats can cause the oats to taste rancid).]
But steel cut oats need to be soaked first. That would add another step to this, but not so difficult. Just soak your steel cut oats overnight, then add as directed here.

Thanks so much for the feature, Amber!
Hello thanks for linking up at TFT! I was wondering if I could sub coconut or almond yogurt? Thanks!
Thanks for hosting, Amber! I’ve never tried it with other yogurts, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! I’m guessing it would work fine to substitute. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
