- High in protein to keep you satisfied until lunch
- Naturally sweet from fresh berries
- Beautiful presentation for a special breakfast
This Greek yogurt parfait is my go-to breakfast when I need something quick but nourishing. The combination of creamy yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy nuts provides the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to start your day with steady energy.
Greek yogurt is a fantastic choice for diabetic meal plans because it’s naturally high in protein and lower in carbohydrates than regular yogurt. The protein helps slow down the absorption of sugars from the berries, keeping your blood sugar levels more stable throughout the morning.
I love making these parfaits in clear glasses because they look so pretty! It’s a simple way to make breakfast feel special, even on the busiest weekday mornings.

Nutritional Details (Per Serving)
⚠️ This information is for general knowledge and should not replace professional dietary advice.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and better satiety.
- Frozen berries work great too - just thaw them slightly first.
- Prepare the night before in a mason jar for grab-and-go breakfast.
- Skip the honey if you want to keep sugar even lower - the berries provide natural sweetness.
Common Questions About This Recipe
→ Can I use flavored yogurt instead?
Plain Greek yogurt is best for diabetic meal plans as flavored versions often contain added sugars. Add your own vanilla extract for flavor control.
→ What's the best type of berries to use?
All berries work well! Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are all low in sugar and high in antioxidants.
