Imaginative Yogurt Parfait

Whether you are gluten free, lactose intolerant, carb conscious, vegetarian, vegan or simply watching your waistline, there is something in this sweet treat for everyone!

Forget ditching the diet when it comes to dessert time, why not opt for a healthy but equally delicious Yogurt Parfait!

There are tonnes of substitutions (which is why I named this entry imaginative yogurt parfait!) with this recipe but here is what I used in the pic:

Makes 1

1 kashi soft cherry vanilla breakfast bar
1 tub (200g) of greek yogurt
1/2 cup of organic blueberries
Water

In a saucepan throw the berries or fruit with enough water to lightly cover the base of the pan, let the berries cook till the soften down and become mushy. About 10 minutes. You may need to keep adding water as you go on. This is your sauce, you can add more water if you want it runnier. Once cooled it should be a smooth gel like consistency.

In a parfait glass crush up 1/2 of the breakfast bar to form the base, next spoon a layer of the greek yoghurt and drizzle with the blueberry sauce that has cooled as well as some fresh blueberries.

Keep repeating each layer until you have filled your parfait glass!

Refrigerate and serve!!

Now here is where the imagination comes into play! Check out these substitutions and follow your heart to whatever you want to use!

Instead of....

A breakfast bar: try graham cracker crumbs, crushed oreos, crushed choc chip cookies, cake crumbs, toasted oats, toasted coconut flakes, cereal, choc bits, chopped nuts, ground flaxseeds

Blueberries: try strawberries, raspberries, mango, peaches, cherries, apricot, apple, pear, nectarines, plums etc etc

Greek yogurt: Coconut yogurt (if you are lactose intolerant), sheep yogurt

See where your imagination takes you!!
