Yield: 6

Ingredients:

Healthy Parfait

• 2 cups yogurt (500ml)
• 1 tbsp honey (15ml)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla bean seeds (1ml)
• pinch cinnamon (pinch)
• 1 cup blueberries (250 ml)

Directions:

Healthy Parfait

1. Prepare the raspberry sauce recipe below. Cool slightly. Combine the yogurt with the honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Toss the fruit together gently.
2. Pour about 3 tbsp/45 mL of raspberry sauce into each parfait glass. Follow with half the granola, half the yogurt and half of the combined fruit. Repeat the granola, yogurt and fruit layers, and garnish with the almonds.

   Tip: This could be made in one 6-cup volume glass bowl as opposed to individual parfait glasses.

Raspberry Sauce

1. Whisk cornstarch and water together. Set aside.
2. In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine raspberries, jelly and cornstarch solution. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minutes, or until thickened and consistency is glossy.
