Kid-Friendly Yogurt Pumpkin Parfait
When you are preparing the big meal for the holiday feast, breakfast often falls by the wayside. These pumpkin parfaits are easy to make ahead of time and they are the perfect light breakfast to satisfy everyone until the main meal is ready to enjoy (or at least the appetizers).
Besides being everyone’s fall favorite, pumpkin is nutrient-dense – rich in immune-boosting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants such as alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin. Beta-carotene turns into vitamin A in the body. Pumpkin is also high in vitamin C and is a good source of vitamin E, iron, and folate — all of which have been shown to aid the immune system.
These nutrients are more readily absorbed when consumed with healthy fats. Our Organic Vanilla Honey Yogurt is just the good stuff, no synthetic additives or extra sugar – just real honey, vanilla extract, milk, cream, and cultures.
You win the morning by starting your holiday off right with this healthy pumpkin parfait. The best part is it tastes like dessert!
