Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Begin by washing and preparing the strawberries. Hull and slice them into thin pieces.
Wash the blueberries thoroughly and set them aside.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds and shredded coconut until golden and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and sweetener. Stir until the vanilla and sweetener are well incorporated into the yogurt.
Set out two small serving glasses or bowls. Spoon 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each glass.
Layer sliced strawberries and blueberries over the yogurt, using half of each fruit portion in this layer.
Sprinkle half of the chia seeds over the fruit layer for added texture and nutritional boost.
Repeat the layers with another 1/4 cup of the Greek yogurt, followed by the remaining strawberries and blueberries.
Top each parfait with the toasted almond and coconut mixture.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the parfait or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Stir before serving if refrigerated.
