Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the apple thoroughly.
- Dice the apple into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Roughly chop the walnuts into smaller bits if they are not already chopped.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and the whey protein powder.
- Stir well until the protein powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Take three serving glasses or bowls.
- Add a layer of the protein-infused Greek yogurt to the bottom of each glass.
- Sprinkle a portion of the diced apples evenly over the yogurt layer.
- Add another layer of the protein yogurt mixture over the apples.
- Sprinkle with a portion of the chopped walnuts.
- Add a final layer of the protein yogurt.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey on top of each parfait.
- For added texture and presentation, you can garnish with a few extra apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- The parfaits can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat.
Tips:
- Choose Your Yogurt Wisely: Opt for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to control the sweetness and avoid added sugars. You can always adjust the sweetness level with honey.
- Add Protein Gradually: Mix the whey protein powder into the Greek yogurt in small amounts to ensure it dissolves smoothly and doesn’t form lumps.
- Prevent Apple Browning: If not serving immediately, toss your diced apple in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Enhance Flavor: For added flavor, lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan before adding them to the parfait.
- Layer Creatively: For an appealing presentation, layer the yogurt mixture and apple pieces alternately in the serving glass. Top with walnuts and a drizzle of honey.
- Chill Before Serving: Chill the parfait in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients like a sprinkle of cinnamon, chia seeds, or even some granola for added crunch and flavor.
