Raspberry Yogurt Parfait



There is nothing fancy or gourmet about this parfait but it is simple and delicious. Greek yogurt has a lot of protein and the homemade granola is packed with nuts, oats and healthy seeds. It's sweet, creamy, crunchy and good for you all at the same time. 


Ingredients:


Homemade granola (recipe available on this blog)
Homemade raspberry jam (recipe available on this blog)
Vanilla or Greek low-fat yogurt


Directions:


Layer as much and however you like. I used 3/4 cup of yogurt with 2 heaping teaspoons of jam. Top with a handful of granola and add more as needed. 

If you are feeling fancy you can do a 3/4 ricotta cheese to 1/4 yogurt mixture for extra creaminess. The texture seems a little odd in the first couple bites but it's really good and really popular in Italy (or so I hear).

Or add fresh fruit.
