These breakfast jars are the perfect way to shake up your weekday mornings - they are the perfect 'grab-n-grow' brekky (healthy and yummy).
All is required is a little prep the night before and you're all set for the perfect start to your day - just imagine waking up to this breakie waiting for you in the fridge! I recommend making a couple of jars at a time then adding the fresh fruit just before you eat. I also love warming this up for a minute or two for those extra cold Melbourne winter mornings.
The protein porridge I use in this is my new favourite - the Botanika Breakky in Vanilla Dream. If you're pressed for time you can you simply skip the parfait and have this on it's own as a full meal. It only takes minutes to make - all you need to do is add boiling water, mix and let it set for 2 mins (so easy!). All Botanika products are natural, vegan and absolutely delicious, in addition to their amazing vegan proteins they now sell some great basics like chia seeds, hemp seeds and macca powder (all which I use in this recipe).

I'll let the recipe do the rest of the talking so let's dig in...
Ingredients:
- 1 serve vanilla probiotic protein porridge (click here for the Botanika Brekky in Vanilla Dream)
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- boiling water
- half a cup raspberries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- golden kiwi fruit
- half a cup mixed berries
Method:
1. In a bowl cook porridge (60g) in 150ml boiling water, mix and set aside for two minutes. Then add maca powder and mix.
2. In a seperate bowl mix chia seeds in a quarter cup boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes.
3. When the chia is a 'pudding' texture, mash the raspberries and mix them into the chia. Then add the maple syrup, if the mixture is too thick slowly add water and mix until it is a 'jam' consistency.
4. Layer your parfait in a jar - starting with a layer of porridge, then raspberry chia jam, then peanut butter, hemp seeds and fruit. Add a couple of layers of each flavour to get that perfect parfait combo as you dig in.
5. Store in the fridge overnight or for a couple of days and eat cold or warm.
Enjoy!
