This recipe is great for breakfast, but it also makes a nice snack or dessert. You can cook the quinoa the night before if you're having this for breakfast. Just reheat it in the microwave for about one minute before you put the parfait together. The total cost for two servings is only about $3.50, and potentially significantly less if you buy the ingredients in bulk.
