OTTUMWA, IOWA -- It is the most important meal of the day: breakfast.
Studies show that people who eat a protein-rich breakfast tend to consume fewer calories that non-breakfast eaters throughout the day.
So although it may be tempting to grab that donut on the go, Hy-Vee dietician Heather Ware has shared with us a simple yogurt parfait recipe that can be made the night before and is packed full of nutrients.
