    Strawberry Quinoa Parfait | Yogurt Parfait | berry parfait | breakfast recipe

    Strawberry Quinoa Parfait

    Strawberry Quinoa Parfait is a filling breakfast with quinoa, roasted strawberry and Greek yogurt. Kids will love this for breakfast.

    If it is strawberry season there will always be a box of strawberries in our fridge. Jagadish loves strawberry, couple of my strawberry recipes like Strawberry pancake, Strawberry phirni, Strawberry frozen yogurt all call this out!

    Parfait is protein rich  to start the day – Quinoa, Yogurt and nuts - can't ask for more. Of course, strawberries add lot of beauty not only to the eyes, but also to the tummy. Antioxidant, rich in vitamin C and low in calorie are few things I knew about strawberries.

    Roasted strawberry gave amazing flavor and I love the texture the strawberries got after roasting. Juicy strawberries was so addictive, we ended up eating it without realizing about the dish. Suddenly I got alarmed and I said hey my recipe, He said my breakfast, oh ya 😜

    We had it for weekend breakfast and I am thinking should start packing it for his mid- morning/evening snacks.

    I generally buy Probiotic greek yogurt for my son and give him daily. One thing I like about greek yogurt is its creaminess, and I had honey strawberry flavor Greek yogurt in my fridge. Covered the yogurt part, Aww my Strawberry yogurt Parfait couldn’t get better.

    Gluten free protein rich quinoa is super easy to cook and it makes the parfait a filling breakfast. Did I forget to mention about the nuts? Nuts gave a nice crunch, flavor and healthy fat + some more protein to the dish. Another thing I like about quinoa is its cooking time. For this dish you can cook quinoa and roast strawberries in parallel to save sometime during busy weekday morning.

    Author: Vidya Srinivasan

    Ingredients

    • Fresh Strawberries - 1 pound
    • Quinoa - ½ cup uncooked
    • Water - 1 cup
    • Sugar - 2 tbsp I used white

    Parfait Single Serving:

    • Greek yogurt - ½ cup I used honey strawberry
    • Maple syrup/ Honey/ Pancake syrup/corn syrup - 1 tbsp I used maple syrup
    • Cooked Quinoa – 1/3 cup
    • Roasted strawberries – 1/3 cup roughly chopped
    • Grounded roasted nuts – 3 tbsp I used roasted Almonds, cashew, pista and pecan

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit and line the baking tray with parchment paper. Grease it with cooking spray or oil
    • Spread the strawberries in the baking tray and sprinkle sugar all over the strawberries. Roast the berries for around 20-25 minutes, until the berries are soft and strawberry smell dominates your kitchen. Transfer it to a bowl, and let it cool
    • Meanwhile in a heavy bottomed saucepan on medium heat, add quinoa and water; bring to boil. Once the water starts boiling turn down the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the quinoa and let it cool.

    Layering the parfait:

    • Add maple syrup to 1/3 cup of quinoa; mix well
    • Take a serving glass/dish, add around 1/4 cup of yogurt layer as the first layer
    • 1/3 cup of quinoa second layer
    • 2 tablespoon of grounded nuts as the third layer
    • Roasted strawberries as fourth layer
    • 1/4 cup of yogurt as fifth layer
    • Roasted strawberry as sixth layer and sprinkle nuts at top

    Notes

    1. If you are using plain yogurt (curd) use thick yogurt. teaspoon of Sour cream can be added for creaminess
    2. Add some sugar/honey/maple syrup to the plain yogurt for additional sweetness. The yogurt I used contains sugar so I skipped it
    3.  Adjust the sweetness to the quinoa layer according to your sweetness
    4. Fresh strawberries can also be used instead of baking
    5. If you are using frozen strawberries thaw them and add them to the Parfait. I have never baked frozen strawberries not sure how they will taste, if toasted
    6.  Any other fruits of your choice can be used
    7.  Use ripe strawberries for better flavor
    8. Cooked flattened rice, cooked semolina, cooked Vermicelli, or chia seeds can be used instead of quinoa
