BREAKFAST
REDS SMOOTHIE
The smoothie that more or less started it all for kencko, reds is also our favorite way to start the day. Packed with refreshing berries, with just a hint of zinginess from the ginger, we find ourselves reaching for reds again and again. And while a simple smoothie always hits the spot, sometimes we like to feel fancy in the mornings – enter our kencko reds yogurt parfait. And don’t worry, it might look fancy but it doesn’t take any fancy kitchen skills. This recipe will be on the table in less time than it takes to brew your morning coffee.
Yogurt is full of protein, making this parfait a really satisfying breakfast. We like to opt for a thick Greek yogurt because it makes the parfait extra creamy, but a non-dairy yogurt like coconut would also be delicious. To make this breakfast feel even more special, we love to use berries for the fruit layer, but choose whatever fruit you prefer. Coconut yogurt would pair perfectly with the tropical flavors of mango and passion fruit.
The final layer is what takes this parfait from good to great: granola. Crunchy and sweet, don’t be afraid to add a generous serving. Look out for granolas that are rich in nuts as that’ll make this recipe even more filling and delicious.
This recipe takes 2 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes of total time.
Ingredients
1 cup of yogurt of choice, a thick Greek yogurt is our favorite
½ cup of sliced fruit: bananas, strawberries, and blueberries are all delicious, but feel free to get creative
1 packet of kencko reds
A generous handful of granola
kencko gumdrops (your favorite flavor)
Instructions
Mix the yogurt with the kencko reds until well mixed. It should be a pleasant pink color.
Layer sliced fruit on the bottom of two glasses. It doesn’t really matter how it looks, but we like to pretend we’re in a fancy hotel!
Top the fruit with the yogurt you mixed with kencko reds. Add about half the yogurt split evenly between the two glasses.
Top the yogurt with more fruit and a layer of granola.
And then spoon the remaining yogurt evenly over the granola, divided evenly between the two glasses.
Top the parfaits with granola, and your favorite kencko gumdrops.
