Notes

Here are a few helpful tips in starting to incorporated more plant based breakfast ideas into your diet:

How do I get more protein on the plant based diet?

This recipe has protein from the yogurt, quinoa and nut butter.  If you are looking to add more protein try adding in some plant based protein like Orgain.

Is it possible to do the plant based diet on a budget?

Yes, absolutely.  Check out my article for the Plant Based Diet on a Budget.

I don't have quinoa.  Can I swap something else?

You can try oats, bulgur or even wheat berries in this recipe.

How long does quinoa last in the fridge?

You can prep these yogurt + quinoa parfaits and store them for up to a week in the fridge.
