Breakfast or dessert? You decide. A parfait is a fun way to start the day, with colorful layers and multiple mingling textures to perk up your senses and pack in early morning nutrition. Yet, creamy peanut butter and apple pie flavor make this healthy stack a seriously delicious after-dinner treat. Like fun-to-make overnight oats, you get in a serving of grains with chewy, nutty-tasting quinoa. Only this creation doesn’t have to sit refrigerated overnight before eating. Just scoop in the ingredients and start spooning!
