Chocolate Strawberry Banana Superfood Parfait
***This post is sponsored by Navitas™ Organics, but all opinions expressed here are my own.
Happy Friday, I hope you have had a great week! I officially started training for Ironman Lake Placid on Monday and it has felt good to get back into a structured fitness routine. However, I must admit, I am much more tired and hungry at the end of the day now. As I did my long swim workout on Tuesday, I was reflecting back to my last training cycle and I thought about how many times I had gotten sick during the year. I know part of it was sleep deprivation and not keeping up with my nutrition, so I made a promise to myself to make this year's training different by focusing on proper rest and eating healthy. So last night I was in bed before 10pm (which is unheard of for this night owl) and after my early morning run, I made a delicious nutrient dense Chocolate Strawberry Banana Superfood Parfait to refuel my body.
If you follow my blog, you know that I made a commitment a few months ago to incorporate five superfoods a day into my diet. My mission is now a little easier since I discovered Navitas™ Organic Essential Superfood Blends and Daily Superfood Boosts. The Essential Blends are plant based and free of dairy, soy, and gluten. They also contain 12 grams of protein, 14 or more superfoods, and 6 billion CFU's of probiotics. The Daily Boosts are a unique blend of superfoods formulated to focus on different areas of wellness. I used the Beauty and Focus Boosts with the Cacao and Greens Essential Blend for my lovely parfait this morning.
What are Superfoods?
"Superfood" is a term to describe anything edible that is a nutritional powerhouse. These foods contain high amounts of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They may also aid in weight loss and reduce the risk of chronic diseases in individuals that consistently eat them. These nutrient dense foods can help increase one's energy level as well! Navitas™ Organics Essential Blends and Organic Daily Boosts are a quick and easy way to add several superfoods to your diet every day! I love adding them to smoothies, smoothie bowls, coconut milk, and yogurt. This morning I blended it into strawberry greek yogurt to make my parfait. Check out the recipe below:

That parfait looks amazing! I love that it has superfoods that you need to fuel your body especially after a good and tiring workout! This is definitely a must try.
As a gym rat, I'm always wanting something that packs a punch, and will help with weight loss. I'm going to look into these products!

Looks so delish!
oh I love Navitas - their "cacao" and chocolate stuff is SO good! And it tastes as good as anything I've ever used!
I never tried these products, but the parfaits look so yummy!
Wow these look great! I enjoy superfoods daily but haven't tried this brand.
Yummy! Always in need of a quick healthy snack!
I'm on such a greek yogurt kick right now - this is perfect!
Oh my gosh, this would have been wonderful when I was in college. My husband and I played racquetball a few mornings per week before school/work and we both would be so hungry those days! These look delicious, too!
Wow, that sounds super healthy! What a tasty healthy swap. These products sounds really great.
These superfoods look great! Have to try this with the recipe!
I recently bought some powdered greens and berries but it tastes so awful that I cant use it. I have a feeling after reading your post that Navitas is going to be a LOT better. I am going to buy some.
I've never tried this but it sounds like a great add on!
I have not tried Navitas products before! Looks like a great snack to me
Chocolate and strawberry is such a great combo - I'm definitely ready to try this tasty recipe!!
Oh my goodness. This looks and sounds amazing. I havent had anything like this in quite sometime. Would love to give it a try!
I believe I've used the Nativas brand products before. I add Superfoods to my smoothies as well. So impressed you're doing an Ironman. Those are such a challenge.
I have not tried Navitas before but it looks easy to incorporate into your diet, especially if you can eat it with such yummy looking parfaits!
Navitas is new to me and I love being introduced to new healthy brands of food. Incorporating this into a chocolate strawberry parfait sounds awesome and delicious!
This looks so good! I haven't heard of Navitas before...I'm going to have to check this out!
These look so good! I have been kind of searching for healthy options for sweet breakfast for a while and will have to try these out!
Hmmmm. This looks so delicious! I Wonder if have there is a Navitas around here in our place.
It is so important to fuel your body when you are training. This parfait sounds so good and I will totally enjoy it. I have never tried Navitas. I usually stay away from boosts.
Your parfait looks really tasty! I have actually never heard any type of parfait before
I have never heard of these products but intend to check them out. Have had some recent health concerns that require dietary changes. Baby steps. Thanks for this.
Wow this looks incredible. Definitely looks like my kind of parfait.
Wow this looks unbelievably good! Saving this to make for the weekend!

I love Navitas products. I haven't tried the superfoods yet.
This looks delicious! I definitely am going to check them out for sure, I can always use more healthy breakfast options.
I need to add superfoods to my diet. I am trying to eat healthier through the holidays. Incorporating this into my yogurt is a great first step.
I've heard great things about Navitas but have yet to try it. I like the idea of adding these superfoods to your desserts. You get to indulge in a sweet treat and still get your nutrients.
Wow! This sounds like a really awesome way to add an extra punch of healthy into an already delicious and nutritious snack! I'm all about making things even healthier 🙂
I have never heard of this before, but it looks totally awesome!
I've never heard of Nativas before, but it sounds delicious! I love the idea of using it to make a parfait.
