Healthy Recipe of the Week

Spring 🌸 is in the air and Summer ☀️is right around the corner, so this week’s recipe is all about a refreshing treat!

I personally love a refreshing, post-workout smoothie bowl year-round, but when the sun is out and the weather is warmer my smoothie bowl just seems to taste better 😋

A fruity yogurt parfait can be quite similar to a smoothie bowl: both provide a soft, ice cream-like texture, sweet taste, and packed with nutrients.

Raspberry Yogurt Parfait with Peaches

Ingredients 

• 1 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt (unsweetened, plain, fat-free) + 1 cup, divided use
• 1 cup Raspberries (fresh or frozen, unsweetened) (*thawed if frozen)
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Peaches (frozen, unsweetened) (*thawed and diced)

Directions

In a food processor or blender, process 1 1/2 cups of Greek yogurt and raspberries for 15 to 20 seconds or until the mixture is smooth. *Stop to scrape the sides as needed.

In a small bowl, stir the remaining 1 cup of Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed. 

In four (4) small cups, layer as follows: Two (2) tablespoons peaches, 1/4 cup raspberry yogurt mixture, 1/4 cup plain yogurt mixture, and two (2) tablespoons peaches.

Pureed alternative: Omit the layering step. In a food processor or blender, process all of the ingredients until smooth. There should be no separation of liquid. 

*Tip: Try using different flavor combinations such as, swapping the raspberries for pears or mixed berries, peaches for cherries or mango. Avoid using pineapple, grapes, or dried fruits.

Yields:  4 servings
