Sixteen Once: Healthy Habits: All Mixed Up, Yogurt Parfait

My last 'Healthy Habits' was about my daily cold brew oatmeal school lunch (on the days where I don't buy soup at school). But, I got a bit bored of taking that same thing every day, so I decided to change it up a bit. To be honest it is basically the same meal, but with yogurt instead of oatmeal.

I have this thing where I need to plan out my school meals ahead of time, or else I spend hours staring at the fridge trying to find something I want to eat. If I have a routine then everything goes a lot faster and I'm always happy with my meal.

So this winter, I have been packing myself an unassembled yogurt parfait, but for the sake of this post I will show a step by step of what I put in it and how I assemble it.

Step One: Yogurt

I use the healthiest of yogurts, greek yogurt. It has a ton of protein and other healthy stuff. But to be honest, I don't love greek yogurt plain. So I mix in a bunch of fruit and other miscellaneous foods to balance out the taste.

Step Two: Raspberries

The first fruit I add to sweeten up the yogurt are some raspberries. I like raspberries in small amounts, so that is why I crush and mix them up inside the yogurt. This way the yogurt is not to yogurt-y and the raspberries are not to tart.

Step Three: Strawberries

One of my favorite fruits, the strawberry. I add a ton of these babies!

And the leftover tops don't go to waste, because...

...Lola loves strawberries too!

Step Four: Pomegranate Seeds

So this is usually the part where I add as many pomegranate seeds as I desire (another one of my faves), but sadly they are going out of season and we didn't have any in the house. Instead I added some coarsely ground flaxseeds and coconut flakes.
