Berries Yogurt Parfait

DESCRIPTION

This whipped yogurt parfait is the ultimate Insta-worthy, ombre dessert that's also healthy, nutritious and packed with protein. Not to mention quick and easy to make or meal prep.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE PARFAIT

• Frozen strawberries
• Sweetener
• Gelatin (Optional)
• Lemon
• 500g high protein yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp superfood powder

TOPPINGS (Optional)

• Nuts
• Puffs

• Freeze fried fruits

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the strawberry jam:

1. In a pot or pan, add in the frozen strawberries and sweetener then simmer on low/medium heat until fully melted. Take off heat.
2. Meanwhile, let the gelatin bloom for 2 mins on the side. (Optional)
3. Add the lemon/lime to your strawberries, mix together well, and then let the mixture cool.
4. Add the gelatin into the jam mixture. (Optional)
5. Pour mixture into a jar and store in the fridge.

Assemble the parfait:

6. In a large bowl, add the yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract and superfood powder. Mix well with a whisk.
7. You can create an ombre effect by making a few shades using separate bowls.
8. In a glass cup add in a layer of the strawberry jam from earlier and then the yogurt mixture.
9. Enjoy as is, or get creative with toppings of your choice. I recommend nuts, puffs and strawberries!

NOTES

• The original recipe is very high in protein but it does contain lactose. Substitutions are fine, however, the protein content does drop a bit.
• For a lactose-free option: use lactose-free greek yogurt or any other non-dairy yogurt of your choice.
• You can use chia seeds instead of gelatin.
• You can use limes instead of lemons.
• For a vegan option: use non-dairy yogurts such as soy yogurt, coconut milk yogurt, almond milk yogurt etc.
• The assembled parfait can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, perfect for prepping a batch in advance.
• You can also use store bought strawberry jam or sauce.
