Raspberry Parfaits
This is a trick, but it’s one my kids fall for and adore and best of all devour, so what’s the harm? I’ll even make them in a wine glass, which makes them feel grown-up and seems to encourage even more eating.
Ingredients:
- Yogurt–Plain Greek yogurt (Faje) is my kids favorite, but tends to be pricey unless you hit a sale, but any kind will work.
- Raspberries
- Sliced bananas
- Wheat germ or ground Flax seed – blends in well and adds nutrition without offending young taste buds
- Diced nuts (optional)
Start with the yogurt and then add the fruit, nuts and seeds in alternating layers. Top with a dollop of yogurt and a berry.
Sometimes I’ll hide a single chocolate chip in one of the layers. The kids act like they’ve struck gold when they find it.
