Healthier Dessert: Berry Quinoa Parfait

Today, I’m excited to share a fun and flavorful recipe for a Berry Quinoa Parfait. This unique dessert is packed with nutrients and is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while still staying on track with your health goals. Whether you’re looking for a light and refreshing treat or a simple and delicious dessert, this Berry Quinoa Parfait is sure to hit the spot.

Ingredients

  • 100g quinoa
  • 150g mixed berries
  • 200g Greek yogurt
  • 30ml honey
  • 50g almonds
  • 5ml vanilla extract

Kitchen Tools

  • saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • strainer
  • knife

To start, cook the quinoa according to the package instructions in a saucepan. Once cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before assembling the parfaits. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract, stirring until well mixed.

Next, it’s time to layer your parfait. Begin by adding a spoonful of quinoa to the bottom of your serving glass or bowl. Top with a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture, followed by a handful of mixed berries. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the glass, finishing with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.

For a crunchy topping, chop the almonds and sprinkle them over the top of the parfait. Feel free to get creative with additional toppings like shredded coconut or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Once assembled, refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, the parfait will have a delightful mix of textures, from creamy yogurt to chewy quinoa and juicy berries.

This Berry Quinoa Parfait recipe yields approximately 600g of dessert, enough for four servings. Each serving is around 150g and contains roughly 200 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to mix in a bit of lemon zest into the Greek yogurt for a citrusy twist. It adds a refreshing flavor that complements the sweetness of the berries and honey perfectly.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing this delicious Berry Quinoa Parfait with your loved ones. Feel free to customize it with your favorite fruits, nuts, or toppings to make it your own. Bon appétit!
