Keto Yogurt Parfaits

In this simple but satisfying breakfast or snack, tangy Greek yogurt, sweet berries, crunchy nuts, and earthy chia seeds come together to create a layered parfait that's both visually appealing and nutritionally balanced. The yogurt provides protein and calcium, the berries offer antioxidants and vitamins, the nuts contribute healthy fats, and the chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

The origins of the parfait can be traced back to the early 1800s, when French confectioners began layering ice cream and fruit in footed glasses. Over time, the parfait evolved into a more breakfast-friendly dish, with yogurt or custard replacing the ice cream. In the 1980s, the parfait gained popularity in the United States, thanks in part to the rise of low-fat and nonfat yogurt. Today, the parfait is a beloved breakfast and snack option, enjoyed by people of all ages.
