Equipment

  • 2 8 oz Mason jars or parfait glasses
  • 1 Medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

Blueberry Compote Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Parfait Ingredients:

  • 2 8 oz Mason jars or parfait glasses
  • 2 5.3 oz containers Greek vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup blueberry compote (see recipe below)
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup blueberry or plain granola (I use an organic blueberry superseed granola for high protein)
  • 2 tbsp slivered almonds
  • A few fresh blueberries of a fresh raspberry for garnish on top of the parfait

Instructions
 

Blueberry Compote Instructions:

  • Put 2 cups fresh blueberries, 2 tbsp water, sugar and honey in a medium saucepan.  Stir together and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to simmer for about 18 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.
  • Add lemon juice and vanilla extract, if using.  Stir and remove from the heat. Let mixture cool and then refrigerate any leftovers.

To Assemble Parfait:

  • For each parfait, layer half of a container of yogurt in the bottom of the Mason jar.
  • Place desired amount of blueberry compote (about 2 tbsp) on top of the yogurt. Top with about 2 tbsp fresh blueberries.
  • Repeat with another layer of yogurt, compote, and blueberries.
  • Top all with about 2 tablespoons of granola and about 1 tablespoon of slivered almonds.
  • Top with fresh blueberries or a raspberry if desired.
  • Notes: *If you are going to eat the parfait right away you could also add granola on top of the first layer. *If you want more granola you can add more as you eat the parfait.  You can never have too much granola crunch! *Parfaits could be made ahead of time and covered in the refrigerator.  Add the granola and almonds when ready to eat so they don't get soft. *Make the compote ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to assemble the parfaits. *Any leftover blueberry compote can be used as ice cream topping or pancake or waffle topping. *Customize your yogurt parfait with other fruits or toppings as desired.
