Recipe Instructions:

Begin by sweetening the strawberries and blueberries to your desired level of sweetness using artificial sweetener. Typically, about 1 1/2 teaspoons on each fruit should suffice, but feel free to adjust to taste.
-
In wine goblets or similar serving vessels, start layering your parfait. Begin with half of the blueberries, arranging them at the bottom of each goblet. Follow this with half of the plain yogurt, spreading it evenly over the blueberries.
-
Next, add half of the sweetened strawberries on top of the yogurt layer in each goblet.
-
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Grape Nuts over the strawberries in each goblet, providing a delightful crunch and added texture.
-
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, starting with the remaining blueberries, followed by yogurt, and finally, the remaining sweetened strawberries.
-
Finish off your parfaits with another tablespoon of Grape Nuts on top of each serving, adding the perfect finishing touch.
-
Admire the vibrant colors and inviting layers of your parfaits before serving them to eager recipients.
-
Indulge in the delightful harmony of flavors and textures as you enjoy each spoonful of this wholesome treat.
Additional Notes:
- For a variation, consider swapping the strawberries for cherry pie filling made with Splenda, adding a delightful twist to your parfait experience.
- Experiment with different combinations of fruits and nuts to customize your parfait to your liking. From tropical fruits like mango to seasonal favorites like plums, the possibilities are endless.
- This recipe is not only perfect for a quick and easy snack but also makes for a refreshing dessert option, especially during warm summer days or as a satisfying treat after a fulfilling meal.
