Healthy Snack: Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

Spread the love

Fruit and Yogurt

This is a great snack and I am still eating it. I posted this back in September and thought I needed to repost it since it so healthy and delicious. If you missed it last time- here it is again. I changed it a bit in keeping with the seasonal fruits,etc.

I am sharing my new, healthy snack. I eat it everyday. Sometimes even for a meal.

If it’s a snack, then I don’t use as many fruits- but if it’s a meal- I make sure to add at least five to fulfill my daily fruit requirements. It is a delicious way to incorporate a bunch of healthy things I need to eat through the day.

I use the non-fat greek yogurt– it’s creamy like whipped cream and has a good amount of protein. I like to use wild blueberries– they are a super food, even better than the regular ones. I put them in frozen to achieve a nice crunch- and they are delicious. Besides the other fruits, I add walnuts– the best kind of nut to have. Fills you up and is good for you. Raw honey is very good for you as well. I add a tablespoon of it on top- it tastes like I am eating a big bowl of dessert. I also add flaxseed mixed with dried blueberries. I buy it from Trader Joes and love the taste of it. I sprinkle it right on top- it gives the snack a nice crunch.

I am absolutely loving this concoction. I look forward to it everyday and I am thrilled with how healthy it is. Definitely give it a try- I am sure you will enjoy it as well!

  • 1 cup non-fat greek yogurt
  • 3 large strawberries, sliced
  • ¼ cup frozen wild blueberries
  • ½ apple, cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup red grapes
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon flaxseed
  • 5-6 whole walnut pieces, chopped

In a medium bowl, add ½ cup yogurt. Add the frozen blueberries, strawberries, banana, grapes and nectarine on top. Drizzle the flaxseed and honey on top of the fruit. Cover the fruit with the remaining yogurt and top with the walnut pieces.
