    Healthy Six-Layer Breakfast Trifle

    7
    By Alisa Fleming on August 11, 2013 Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Every year, my mother-in-law makes holiday trifles for friends and family. Since they are pretty much dairy and gluten bombs, it isn’t a tradition that Tony and I can partake. However, it’s really a blessing in disguise. The layers of fat and sugar in a traditional English trifle aren’t exactly waistline-friendly. Fortunately, we can all enjoy this healthy breakfast trifle without the guilt!

    Healthy Six-Layer Watermelon Breakfast Trifle Recipe (dairy-free!)This recipe for a watermelon breakfast trifle was shared with us by the National Watermelon Board.

    Special Diet Notes & Options: Healthy Breakfast Trifle

    This healthy breakfast trifle is easily vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, egg-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free and soy-free – just keep an eye on the yogurt, granola and cereal that you use.

    For flavored dairy-free yogurt, I recommend trying brands like Silk (soy-based and SO good!), So Delicious (coconut-based and easy to find), Coconut Dream (coconut-based and indulgent), or CoYo (coconut-based, incredibly rich and very low sugar).

    If coconut isn’t your cup of tea, use sliced almonds instead, or simply omit for a 5-layer breakfast trifle. And don’t forget that other fruit or melon can be used once watermelon season has passed.

        Hi Bobbie, just divide each ingredient by 8 (i.e. 3/8 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup). If you need to divide recipes in the future, there are calculators like this to help you -> https://www.webstaurantstore.com/recipe_resizer.html

        Judy, I wouldn’t, but you really don’t need to. Takes just 5 minutes to throw the layers together!

      I’m a trifle addict (there is a whole chapter to them in the third book!), and this looks delicious and so easy to modify. Thanks for the idea! Love it!

      This looks fantastic! What a great way to use watermelon, and what a great way to enjoy a guilt-free TRIFLE!! I must admit I am one of those people who loves trife, but I agree with you about all that fat and sugar. I could easily go for this in the morning (or any time). 🙂
