Beyond Parfait

Serves 1

Parfaits are a quick way to create a breakfast dish when you're on the go. But if you have a few minutes more, you might create a far more magical entrée!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup whole oats
• ¼ cup chopped apple
• ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 TBS fruit infused balsamic vinegar
• ¼ tsp sweet spice blend (separate recipe below)

Method

1. Place all the ingredients into a small food processor and pulse until mixed (it should have texture). Pour it all into a bowl and enjoy.

Notes

• For better flavor and better health, use as many organic ingredients as you can get your hands on.
• Fruit infused balsamic vinegars are found at better grocery stores and in a wider variety at an olive oil specialty store.
• Experiment with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and cherries.
