Having a nutritious breakfast is so important and helps you start your day right. Lately I’ve been extremely busy; between work and the blog, I usually don’t have time to prepare anything and just grab whatever I find in the refrigerator, or I don’t have breakfast at all. Now that the kids are back in school and we can get back into our own routine, I am doing my best to start the day in a healthier way. With my husband’s help and encouragement, we walk a couple of miles in the morning. After our walk, I need a breakfast that really fills me up and gives me energy but is also easy to prepare.

I love Greek yogurt, and combining it with fresh fruit and granola makes for a filling, nutritious breakfast packed with protein. This helps me refuel my energy after my morning walk and keeps me awake, alert, and motivated.
For this breakfast parfait, I combined mangoes, granola, and raspberries with Greek yogurt for a protein-packed breakfast parfait. Mangos are not only delicious but are also filled with nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin B6, as well as potassium, magnesium, and copper. Mangoes also have lots of fiber, and because they contain glutamic acid, which is an important amino acid for concentration and memory, something I really need, as lately I’ve been having trouble focusing and remembering things.
This is the first time I have combined mangoes and raspberries, and I am in love with this combination. The fresh and light taste of the raspberries balances the sweetness of the mango. If you haven’t tried mangoes and raspberries, you need to run to the supermarket and get some: it’s a match made in heaven! The granola and nuts add a nice crunch, giving this parfait a lot of texture and depth.
