Chai Spice Overnight Quinoa Parfait

New week, new breakfast. Take a jar of this season’s flavors to-go with a chai overnight quinoa parfait, a higher protein choice than your usual overnight oats. Both quinoa and kefir are perfect proteins: essential to building, repairing, and maintaining muscle. Layer on the autumn spices and finish with pecans, toasted coconut flakes, and a drizzle of maple syrup for the ultimate cozy fall parfait.



A healthy diet is one that is sustainable and full of real ingredients you can pronounce. As always, it’s important to be mindful of how foods react with your individual body but when it comes to selecting which dairy products to consume, going the fermented route is one of the best choices for your health. Kefir can be a beneficial way to incorporate more probiotics into your microbiota. Lifeway Kefir, in particular, may be an appropriate option for those who are lactose-intolerant – it’s up to 99% lactose (a naturally occurring milk sugar) free.
