So, remember when I said one of my New Year resolutions was to eat breakfast more?
I’ve actually been doing pretty good with that.
I’ve found that the absolute requirement though is to keep my breakfast as simple as possible.
Make-ahead healthy breakfast burritos I can freeze. Overnight oats. And these Roasted Citrus and Coconut Chia Pudding Parfaits.
Although these may sound a tad bit complicated, they’re easy as can be. Promise.
The chia pudding takes a minute to put together and becomes creamy and so delicious overnight in the fridge.
Citrus takes just 10 minutes to roast in the oven, but this greatly deepens their flavors and adds something extra special.
These Coconut Chia Pudding Parfaits take on three well-balanced flavors, all of which compliment each other: citrus (roasted Cara Cara oranges and grapefruit, lemon zest, fresh orange juice), almonds (almond butter, crunchy sliced almonds), coconut (coconut flakes and coconut milk).
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely need to have crunch and texture in my yogurt, chia pudding, or parfaits. Adding Great Grains Coconut Almond Crunch does just that. I love this cereal because it’s nutty and delicious. It offers great texture to these parfaits with large, crunchy granola clusters, coconut flakes, and toasted almonds. It works wonderfully with my New Year resolutions by providing 36g of whole grains per serving, 21% of my daily recommended fiber, and 13 essential vitamins and minerals.

These sound so different and yet I can only imagine how great they taste. I like citrus as well as coconut so they would be well received in our house. I am sure I could get my husband to try them. Thank you for a new recipe that we can try.
