So I was thinking, “Man, I should get a good parfait recipe on my site, that would be a great addition to a P90x meal plan.” Enter Samantha, who created this very pretty one!
I know that I always say that I was thinking of creating a recipe before someone sends it to me, but seriously, it’s like you guys can read my mind. Every time I think, “I really should get off my butt and cook [insert recipe item here],” one of you lovely folks sends me a recipe with a photo that does it better than I would have anyway. So I guess you are determined to reinforce my laziness! LOL. Please continue. =)
Take it away Samantha!
“Here’s a really great breakfast recipe, Banana Scrunch. This is a single serving:
Ingredients:
|
Mix protein powder into yogurt and set aside. Mix crushed bran flakes with oats, and heat mixture in skillet on medium heat for about 2 minutes. Drizzle bran flake and oats mixture with honey, stir and heat for about 2 more minutes (until edges of oats are crunchy). You can make as many layers as you like. Scoop some of the bran flake and oats mixture into the bottom of a tall glass, layer with sliced bananas. Scoop some vanilla protein yogurt on top, then repeat the layering process for as many layers as you like… bran/oat, banana, protein yogurt, etc. Enjoy!”
OK, CJ’s back!

P.S. Samantha – you rock. Thank you!
This sounds great. I just started P90 not the X. When I put this in the recipe calculator it comes out to be 629 calories/92 Carbs/7 Fat/ 54 Protein. This seems a little high? Am I missing something?
Hi Gary,
I’m wondering how did you get those numbers, which recipe calculator are you using, I would like to use that tool as well.
Gary, I think you are right! It’s too much calories… I watch everything I eat and there is no way I can add this parfait in my daily menu…
Sorry, it looks very good!!!
Is it possible to use vanilla yogurt instead? Plain makes me ill…
Certainly! Should be fine.

Am trying this tonite when DH gets home. Always looking for a ’sweet’ & am trying to show him it doesn’t always have to be about chocolate! Using Fage Total Greek yogurt, instead of bran cereal flakes — 1/4 c. organic wheat germ & 1/4 c. ground flaxseed. We’ll see how he likes it! Def sounds yumy to me!

Hope it went well, KAH! A few other desserts – P90x Candy, Cinnamon Baked Apple, and if it must be chocolate for him, try Chocolate Filled Strawberries. =)
