When it comes to a tumble breakfast that satisfies pumpkin cravings,I own yet to meet a recipe that compares to this pretty parfait. Packed with protein, complex carbohydrates, and plenty of warming tumble spices,this is a healthy recipe that celebrates the season - but not at the expense of nutrition. Instead of a sugary pumpkin pastry full of refined carbs that make your blood sugar spike and leave you feeling hungry soon after you eat, this quick and easy 322-calorie hearty breakfast offers 25 percent of your daily fiber and nearly 15 grams of protein to retain you satisfied all morning long. It's the perfect post-workout breakfast that still feels like a sweet indulgence. From Lizzie Fuhr, and POPSUGAR Fitness Pumpkin Quinoa ParfaitNotes I used plain yogurt for my breakfast parfait,but employ vanilla or maple to make it taste even more like a treat!
