Over the last couple of years, fast food restaurants have revolutionized the way they serve breakfast, and it’s no longer just about the usual McMuffins. Customers are more and more becoming conscious about what they put in their bodies, and because breakfast is perhaps the most important meal of the day, it all starts here. Chick-fil-A has recently brought breakfast to a whole new level with its latest offering: the Greek yogurt parfait.
The Greek yogurt parfait is not entirely new, because it Chick-fil-A actually offered a similar offering before. The newly launched parfait however is a lot better, with twice the protein and half the sugar of the old version.

Listening to the Customers
Chick-fil-A’s new move is mainly because customers have been asking for items in the menu that are higher in protein. Yogurt in itself is already a healthy food item, but by cutting down the sugar and amping up the protein, you get a breakfast meal that’s not only filling but wholesome as well.
At only 110 calories and 7 grams of protein per serving, you can enjoy your Greek yogurt parfait with fresh blueberries and strawberries. This gives you the added fiber, vitamins, and nutrients that should be present in any breakfast meal. You can also choose to top it off with chocolate cookie crumbles or Chick-fil-A Harvest Nut Granola, if you want a healthier option.
Listening to customers is an integral part of Chick-fil-A’s strategy. Back in 2008, it rid its entire menu of trans fats because it was determined to address the health needs and preferences of customers. Even as customers craved for a healthier lifestyle, Chick-fil-A knew exactly how to adapt. A clamor for natural food is also recently cropping up, and this is why it also removed all artificial colors from its sauces. High fructose corn syrup is also out of the menu.
Crafting the Perfect Product
But for Chick-fil-A, listening to the customers is not enough. They know there’s demand for high-protein items, but they also know they can’t put out just any kind of product out there. If they were to introduce a new product, they might as well introduce the best.
To craft this special Greek yogurt parfait, Chick-fil-A partnered with Fairlife, LLC, a dairy company that makes the farm-to-table Greek yogurt straight from the Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana. This gives the Chick-fil-A Greek yogurt parfait access to Fairlife’s special filtration process, giving you high-protein, high-nutrient, and high-quality yogurt that you can hardly find anywhere else.
It’s not just about the source either. Chick-fil-A has the supply chain figured out, because it also enlisted a culinary team to collaborate with the farm so they can come up with the perfect blend that will make the Chick-fil-A Greek yogurt parfait something customers will not just try but keep coming back to.
Breakfast and So Much More
The Greek yogurt parfait is the perfect breakfast treat, but family-owned Chick-fil-A knows that sometimes, customers want a little variety other than the high-protein healthy treat. A quick look at Chick-fil-A’s breakfast menu will show us that indeed, there’s a little something for everyone.
For those who want something a little more filling than yogurt, another healthy alternative is the multigrain oatmeal. Of course, you can also opt for the other breakfast favorites that Chick-fil-A stores are known for. One breakfast staple is the biscuit, which you can order plain and in other sumptuous varieties:
- Chick-fil-A Chicken
- Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken
- Bacon, Egg & Cheese
- Sausage, Egg & Cheese
Breakfast diners can also treat themselves to the Chicken, Egg & Cheese on a Sunflower Multigrain Bagel for more texture and variety. The breakfast burritos are also a crowd-pleaser, and you can choose from either chicken or sausage. Breakfast platters (chicken, bacon, or sausage), hash browns, and the cinnamon cluster complete your breakfast options.
All of these offerings make breakfast at Chick-fil-A truly special, and the Greek yogurt parfait is like icing on the cake of breakfast goodness. What’s even better about it is that you can actually opt not to order it for breakfast, because it makes for a pretty great dessert dish as well.
Just imagine after a full Chick-fil-A meal at any time of the day, you can order the Greek yogurt parfait to cleanse your palate and give you that feeling of fullness and satisfaction. The lightness of the yogurt and the kick you get from the berry toppings actually make it the perfect dessert to complete any meal.
Of course you can also pick from Chick-fil-A’s wide variety of desserts – from the milkshakes (vanilla, chocolate, peach, cookies & cream, strawberry) and Icedream to the Chocolate Chunk Cookie and special Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade. If you want something healthier though, you can very well add the Greek yogurt parfait to that splendid mix.
