The Greek Yogurt Parfait with Homemade Granola was born out of a desire to create a diabetes-friendly breakfast that was both delicious and satisfying. I started with a base of creamy Greek yogurt, which is a good source of protein and calcium. Then, I added layers of sugar-free granola, fresh berries, and chia seeds. The granola provides a crunchy texture and a boost of fiber, while the berries add sweetness and antioxidants. The chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Finally, I drizzled the parfait with a touch of sugar-free honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. The result is a parfait that is both delicious and nutritious, and perfect for people with diabetes.
