A gluten-free protein-packed parfait that is both healthy and satisfying. Try this fun new idea to enjoy your fresh berries this summer.
Ingredients
½ cup quinoa
½ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup (or more) of your favorite berries, fresh or frozen (I love blueberries & strawberries)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted
Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Use my directions for cooking quinoa as a basic (linked to above) or follow package directions adding the vanilla and cinnamon to your water. Allow to cool.
Mix the greek yogurt and honey together in a small bowl.
Using a spoon add a ⅓ of the yogurt mixture into your glass.
Top with ⅓ of sliced strawberries and blueberries then add ⅓ of the quinoa. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
Repeat with the remaining yogurt, berries, quinoa and almonds until you have three layers.
Finish with your mint leaves.
