About Strawberry parfait

Strawberry parfait is a layered dessert originating from French cuisine, typically composed of fresh strawberries, yogurt or cream, and granola. While variations exist globally, it often serves as a nutritious and visually appealing dish combining fruits, dairy, and grains. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, while yogurt provides probiotics for gut health and granola contributes dietary fiber. A balanced strawberry parfait delivers essential macronutrients, including carbohydrates and protein, along with micronutrients such as potassium and calcium. Its variety of textures and flavors make it a popular choice for breakfast or a light dessert.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin C from strawberries, which boosts immune function and protects cells against oxidative stress.
• Contains probiotics from yogurt, promoting healthy gut bacteria and supporting digestion.
• Provides dietary fiber from granola, aiding in stable blood sugar levels and improved digestive health.

Allergens: Contains dairy, gluten (from granola), nuts (if included in granola)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, pescatarian

Not suitable for: Vegan (unless using non-dairy alternatives), gluten-free (unless using gluten-free granola), nut-free (if granola contains nuts)

Selection and Storage

Store parfait components separately to retain freshness. Refrigerate yogurt and strawberries; add granola just before serving to preserve crunchiness.

Common Questions About Strawberry parfait Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of a strawberry parfait?

The nutritional content can vary based on the recipe, but a standard serving (about 1 cup) contains approximately 150-200 calories, 2-5 grams of protein, and around 25-30 grams of carbohydrates. Strawberry parfaits are a good source of vitamin C from the strawberries and calcium if made with yogurt.

Is strawberry parfait suitable for a keto diet?

Strawberry parfaits are typically not keto-friendly due to the high carbohydrate content from the fruit, granola, and sweeteners. Modifications, such as using unsweetened Greek yogurt and replacing granola with keto-friendly nuts or seeds, can make it more compatible with a keto diet.

What are the health benefits of eating strawberry parfaits?

Strawberry parfaits can be beneficial for supporting immune health due to the vitamin C in strawberries. Yogurt provides probiotics, which are good for gut health, and the combination may aid in digestion. However, some store-bought parfaits contain added sugars, which should be consumed in moderation.

What is a recommended portion size for strawberry parfait?

A typical serving size for a strawberry parfait is about 1 cup, which is a balanced portion providing nutrients without excessive calories. For a snack, half a cup may suffice, while a full serving could be better suited for a light breakfast or dessert.

How does a strawberry parfait compare to similar desserts like acai bowls?

Strawberry parfaits tend to have fewer calories and less sugar than acai bowls, which can be high in fruit-based sugars depending on toppings. Acai bowls, however, typically offer more antioxidants due to the acai berries. Both options can be customized for healthier versions.
