Ingredients:
Instructions:
- First, rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
- Place the rinsed quinoa in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked and fluffy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.
- While the quinoa is cooling, wash, peel, and chop the pear and apple into small bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pear and apple with the cooked and cooled quinoa.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon over the mixture and gently toss to ensure that everything is evenly coated.
- Take a parfait glass or a small bowl and start by adding a layer of the fruit and quinoa mixture at the bottom.
- Add a layer of Greek yogurt on top of the fruit and quinoa mixture.
- Continue layering in this order until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
- You can garnish the parfait with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few extra pieces of chopped fruit on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and nutritious Fruity Quinoa Yogurt Parfait with Cinnamon!
Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa well before cooking to remove any bitterness.
- Allow quinoa to cool to room temperature before layering it in the parfait to avoid melting the yogurt.
- Dice the pear and apple into small, even pieces for better texture and presentation.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits like berries or bananas for added variety.
- Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
