Made with fresh fruits, yogurt, and seeds, this healthy parfait makes the perfect breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert. You can mix and match with the fruit you have in the house and what’s in season. Mango, strawberries, melon, and grapes would also work well!

Seeds are a fantastic source of healthy fats, fiber, protein, and essential micronutrients like magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and vitamin E.

Sheep milk yogurt is higher in nutrients like protein and calcium than regular cow milk yogurt, and has a much milder flavor than goat milk yogurt.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 an apple, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 a grapefruit, skin, pith and segment membranes removed.
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup plain sheep’s yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, linseeds, chia seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Honey or other natural sweetener

Instructions:

  1. Prepare all the fruits, assemble in a bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Top with the sheep’s yogurt.
  3. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and add the seeds. Toast them until they start to pop—be aware of flying seeds!
  4. Top the yogurt with the toasted seeds and add a dusting of cinnamon and drizzle of honey.
  5. Enjoy!
