Vitatop Parfait with Cashew Butter ~ YUM!

May 26, 2009 by DanicasDaily 11 Comments

I think the best part of this week is that it’s only 4 days long! Oh, and I started it off right with one of my new favorite breakfasts of all time thanks to K’s Good Eats. I always drool every morning when she makes her VitaTop Parfaits. This morning, I decided to venture out and try my own version.

I broke out another one of my cute sample containers of Artisana Organic Raw Cashew Butter that I received from Premier Organics. This is ONE flavor I KNOW I LOVE – if you love cashews, you will LOVE this – it rocks! I am savoring every bit of my mini container and only used a little for my parfait today.

I found a new way to use my Margarita glasses πŸ˜€

1 Double Chocolate Vitatop (1 WWP)
1 TJ’s organic fat free vanilla bean greek yogurt (2 WWP)
a few sprinkles of fiber one or TJ’s Fiber worms or even granola or kashi go lean crunch (0 WWP)
1 heaping Tbsp of Artisana Organic Raw Cashew Butter (1 WWP)

Layer everything back & forth with the cashew butter being dabbed on top = 4 Weight Watcher Points of Heaven!

OMG ~ This was absolutely amazing! K – you are a genius! Why didn’t I try this out sooner?! I made sure I got a little bit of vita-goodness and cashew butter in EVERY bite.

    WOW! Is this a breakfast post or a dessert post. That looks so good.

    BTW, how do like cashew butter compared to almond butter? I’ve never tried CB, since I’m so in love with AB.

    What’s for lunch? What’s for lunch?!! ; )

    Awesome parfait Danica!!! That’s my kind of snack! πŸ™‚

    I thought I should let you know, I contacted Artisana because I thought the calorie content sounded quite high per serving, and they told me that the samples are incorectly labeled. There are actually 2 tbsp per each mini jar and the nutrition is for 2 tbsp. All the better to enjoy them! πŸ˜‰

    Kirwin ~ You are too funny, but, I know this breakfast involves almost ALL your favorite. I LOVE cashew butter. If you like cashews, it tastes just like them – super creamy and sweet. It’s a nice change from almond butter.

    Anne ~ Vitatops are fun and you can eat them one at a time.

    K ~ No worries – thanks for the idea! I did mass it all together after my picture πŸ™‚

    Jess ~ OOOHHH, I like the banana idea. I’ll have to try that next time!

    Jenny ~ Try it, you’ll love it!

    Cookie ~ Fun, I am off to check your site now!

    Janetha ~ after you loved it, I knew I had to try it.

    Health ~ You know I thought the same thing about the mini jars and almost measured them out. Thanks for the heads up, glad I am portioning out my small samples into two to make them last πŸ™‚ LOL

    Chickpea ~ Me either, it was fun to make, take pictures of and of course eat!
