Blueberry Parfaits

 

 

 

 

Word.

 

 

If you are looking for a thicker, creamer version of your regular yogurt, you must try Greek Yogurt!

 

There are many benefits to eating Greek yogurt. Below I listed a few.

Protein

 

Greek yogurt can have twice as much protein as regular yogurt. The extra protein will help you feel full and leave you feeling satisfied.

 

Low in Carbohydrates

 

Regular yogurts have 15 to 17 grams of carbohydrates per cup, where Greek yogurt averages around 9 grams.

 

Versatility

 

Greek yogurt can be used for many dishes. Because its thick texture and rich taste, many people use it as a substitute for sour cream and even use it for baking.

 

Probiotics

 

 

If you're trying to boost probiotics in your diet, Greek yogurt is your answer! Probiotics improve your digestive health and keep the bacteria in your gut healthy. They also boost your immune system!  Make sure the Greek yogurt you choose has "live and active cultures" on the label.

 

 

 

These Blueberry Yogurt Parfaits are so delicious and super easy to make.

 

 

I used frozen blueberries. You can of course use fresh however frozen is what I had in my freezer!

I added about 1/2 cup of the frozen blueberries to a pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it had a syrupy consistency. You can add a little bit of sweetener at this time. I added about 1/2 TBSP of coconut sugar.



 IT'S ALIVE!

I topped it off with a little bit of Granola for added crunch

 

 

 Enjoy!
