This parfait is a combination of overnight oats and a yogurt parfait. It brings together the best of the heart healthy oats and protein from yogurt. I have added chia seeds to the yogurt, you can add hemp or flax instead for added nutritional benefits. Top it off with granola or toasted nuts or eat it as assembled. The best part of this recipe is that it requires very little effort in the morning if you are in a rush.
