Yogurt Parfait Recipe

Grape Berry Delight

This is a recipe that my mother-in-law, Donae, first gave me. We were going to make it today, but when we couldn’t find the original recipe, we decided to create our own. It is super S I M P L E & easy to customize based on what you like/want. Not only is it easy, but is is so H E A L T H Y for you! Yes, I said healthy! And I don’t mean the “low-fat, low-sugar” healthy (<< aka processed & unhealthy), I mean the “full of nutrition, protein, fiber, & good fat” healthy. You know, the kind of fat that we are supposed to have?! The G O O D kind… ever heard of it?! :)

Ingredients:
16 oz. plain cream cheese (room temperature)
16 oz. plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 packets (4 tsp.) organic Stevia (or 1/4 cup brown sugar or agave)
7 cups grapes (red &/or green)
2 cups (or 1 pint) blueberries
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Wash your grapes & blueberries and dry thoroughly.

Meanwhile, add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Stevia (or sugar or agave), & vanilla extract to an electric mixer (or handheld mixer) and mix until there are no lumps & it is creamy.

Add the grapes & chopped walnuts to your creamy yogurt mixture by folding in with a spatula. Fold the blueberries in last to avoid crushing them with the walnuts.

Feel free to add more or less fruit, sugar, or walnuts. Donae & I both loved the added crunch the walnuts gave!
Once it’s all mixed together, you’re done!

This is such a healthy, yummy dish, & we have used it as a side for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even as our dessert! If you want some extra protein, especially for the morning, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. My favorite is Arbonne vanilla protein powder. (<< contact me if you want to try some)

Top with some more walnuts as a garnish & E N J O Y !

Let me know what you would add or take away if you made this dish! I’d love to hear your feedback.
