Greek Yogurt Parfait with Brown Rice, Chia Seeds, Nuts, and Fruit

November 5, 2012 by Monica Nelson 1,106 Comments

Just when you thought a parfait had nothing more to offer, I went and put on my thinking cap! This is a super delicious and healthy way to start your day.  I promise you will be full all the way until lunch and you will feel energetic and charged.  Hey, this is also ideal for an afternoon pick-me-up that we all need as well, say around 3 pm, right?

What in the heck are those “black pecks/dots” in the yogurt you ask? No they are not bugs! They are chia seeds.  If you are not familiar with Chia seeds-well my friends, take notes.  Chia seeds are a super food in my book.

Chia is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, even more so than flax seeds. And it has another advantage over flax: chia is so rich in antioxidants that the seeds don’t deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid. Did you know that? (Most don’t know about flax seeds because no one tells you!)  And, unlike flax, they do not have to be ground to make their nutrients available to the body. That is a key reason why I love them! Chia seeds also provide fiber (25 grams give you 6.9 grams of fiber) as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc. Are you sold yet?


This breakfast (or power snack) is easy to make and if you are looking for  a healthy “pick-me-up,” look no further.

I plan on making this many times with other additions-all through the year.

  • In Fall: I would add canned Pumpkin and also apples.
  • In Winter: Persimmons.
  • In Spring: Cherries.
  • Then in Summer: fresh blueberries, peaches, and/or strawberries.

This will never get old with me! Enjoy~
