Yogurt and Fresh Fruit Parfait

From student Tara, the cooking demo extraordinaire at Miriam's Cardiac Rehab. You can substitute any kind of fruit you want for what her choices were. Anyone can try it with my previous recipe for granola or if the bariatric patients want to purchase a granola they should use Bare Naked brand granola and leave out the honey sweetener!

1/2 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon honey (try a honey native to where you live especially if you have lots of outdoor allergies!)
1/4 cup peaches, fresh or frozen, diced
1/4 cup big cherries, pitted
1 tablespoon low fat granola
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
1 teaspoon ground flax seeds

1. Combine yogurt, vanilla and honey, if using, with a whisk until completely mixed.
2. Place 1/2 the fruit on bottom of a clear glass (this way you can see how pretty it is!)
3. Top with 1/2 of each: yogurt, granola, almond, flax
4. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients

ENJOY!!

**Bariatric patients - this will make you 2-3 servings; total protein content in recipe is 13grams.
