LEMON AND BLUEBERRY YOGURT PARFAIT (LOW FAT)
I am playing around and trying to find some new lower fat recipes to put into my rotation to keep me from getting bored. This turned out to be lush tasting and something that I could happily eat both for breakfast or for a fairly diet friendly dessert. I use fat free Greek yogurt in this because I enjoy the thick creamy texture with such little fat. Also, I am lactose intolerant but have found that I don't get any reactions when I eat Greek yogurt. I have used both Splenda and sugar in the blueberry stage of this recipe and both worked well

BLUEBERRY LEMON PARFAIT
I adapted this recipe from one I found online that used blueberries, lemon yogurt, and crushed gingersnap cookies. I couldn't find lemon yogurt and I needed some cake in there! A great and easy summer dessert. Variation: If you don't like yogurt, try this with lemon pudding! Or change it up and use lemon pound cake with white chocolate pudding!

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but thaw them before using.
- Choose a thick yogurt: A thick yogurt will hold up better in the parfait. Greek yogurt or Icelandic yogurt are both good choices.
- Add some lemon zest: Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the parfait. You can also use lemon juice, but be careful not to add too much, or the parfait will be too sour.
- Sweeten the parfait to your liking: You can add honey, maple syrup, or sugar to the parfait, if desired. You can also use a flavored yogurt, such as honey yogurt or vanilla yogurt.
- Layer the parfait in a glass: Layer the yogurt, blueberries, granola, and lemon zest in a glass. You can also add other toppings, such as nuts, seeds, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Lemon blueberry yogurt parfait is a delicious and refreshing breakfast or snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of sweet, tangy, and crunchy flavors, this parfait is sure to please everyone.
