PB & J Yogurt Parfait

This parfait is a simple, balanced breakfast or treat that supports satiety, steady energy, and hormonal health. It’s an easy, no-cook option you can prep the night before or assemble fresh. With a strong protein base plus fiber and healthy fats, it helps support blood sugar stability and sustained energy throughout the morning.

The chia jam provides gut-supportive fiber and antioxidant-rich polyphenols that support blood sugar balance and help calm inflammation. You can make your own chia berry compote, but SmashFoods Chia Jam is a convenient option that works well here.
