BREAKFAST PARFAITS

When it comes to needing something quick and hearty during your morning rush or vacation travels I have the fix for you!  These are the most perfect breakfast parfait recipes to make while multitasking your morning!

Nutrient-dense, filling, and delicious gluten-free breakfast parfaits!

In conclusion, these parfait recipes taste like overnight oats minus the overnight hours.

There are tons of ways to take the idea of an overnight oats recipe and create something fast, seriously delicious, filling, and ridiculously easy using whole foods without creating an actual recipe.  For some people following recipes can seem daunting and impossible.

And while I love to follow a recipe, I also like to break the rules and experiment.

As a result, my travel breakfasts were wonderful without stress.  Because, when I needed these gluten-free breakfast parfaits I was traveling and I made it happen.  In addition, I needed gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free and beyond nutritious breakfasts free of contamination.  Naturally, my entire suitcase was filled with gluten-free & free-from food.  And I KNOW you know how that goes.

GLUTEN-FREE & BEYOND

Therefore, someone who is gluten-free and beyond knows that making something quick will require you to have all those ingredients on hand before you make the "quick fix".

I am going to give you these ingredients because doing it this way was the best way to take care of myself.  And doing it this way will help YOU take care of yourself.
