Greek Yogurt Parfaits

Feb 18, 2019 · 41 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This post has been sponsored by FAGE: Total Plain Greek Yogurt. All opionions expressed are my own.

Treat yourself to something that is not only indulgent but also healthy like these Greek Yogurt Parfaits boasting of organic bee pollen, raw cacao nibs, goji berries, coconut, and fresh strawberries!

The calendar is full of days that simply demand decadent cakes or ‘sweet expressions’ of one’s jovial emotions, with almost every holiday competing to be the most ‘overindulged.’ Valentine’s Day? Think candied hearts and chocolates. Halloween? Candied ghouls and more chocolates. Christmas? Cookies, cakes, and candies. Easter? Egg shaped candies and chocolate bunnies.

Notice a pattern yet?

Personally, I’ve always preferred things to be slightly on the ‘fresher,’ ‘lighter’ and, yes, ‘healthier’ side of the equation, preferring to reserve my indulgence for the dinner table as opposed to boxed chocolates or bakery confections – albeit I’ve been known to consume my fair share of both more often than I would care to admit.

Instead, I prefer something that ‘uplifts’ with its flavors, and that leaves you feeling refreshed and energized, as opposed to that ‘weighty’ feeling that often accompanies overindulgence. One such example of, say, an early morning or afternoon treat that I’ve been known to enjoy is a basic fresh fruit parfait dressed up with toppings like strawberries, honey, and goji berries, which combines all of the colors and flavors of this 24-hour celebration of love into a simple, healthy, and – naturally – delicious recipe.

To do this, we need to start with an all-natural Greek yogurt, because, let’s be honest, that’s where the ‘body’ of the parfait is coming from, and we want it to be rich and creamy, with a delicious flavor unto itself. Personally, for this sort of recipe, I prefer a yogurt that has little or no added sugar, and that is rich in protein, since this allows me to better control the balance of flavors, ensuring it will pair great with my selected toppings – as well as being healthier than the alternative. For that purpose, I’ve chosen FAGE: Total Plain Greek Yogurt, which, aside from filling the above criteria, is also Non-GMO, and is produced only with milk and live active cultures.

From there, using a tall parfait glass as pictured below, we drizzle a bit of honey at the bottom of the glass, and then arrange sliced strawberries along the bottom of the glass as pictured.

Next, dust in some cacao nibs, chopped pecans, goji berries, bee pollen, and a dollop of the FAGE: Total Plain Greek Yogurt.

    I am pretty impressed you have added goji wolfberries into this recipe. The goji is in fact very good to health and has been used by the Chinese for many thousands of years. It is good for eyesight and the more you consume the younger you look. What a creative and healthy dessert.

    I love making Greek Yogurt parfaits. There are so many ways to make them feel decadent. It’s also easy to make them fit dietary restrictions.

    Oh, I have to try that elegant presentation! I care for my elderly inlaws, and they like yogurt and fruit in their cereal – and I’ve quietly switched them over to Greek yogurt! So much more nutrition, and at the same time they enjoy the creaminess.. But I’ve just plopped it in a bowl… now I want to dig out the unused parfait glasses!

    One of the first posts on my almost 10 year old food blog was a yogurt parfait and this takes me way back. But I LOVE your take on this. Loved the coco nibs as well. Love Fage as well (my favourite American “Greek” Yogurt) and I am thrilled it is available in Aruba but prefer the full fat version. This is just beautiful!
