Equipment

  • blender or food processor
  • medium non-stick pan
  • 3-4 medium to large glass jars

Ingredients

High-Protein Yogurt & Cottage Cheese Base

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, blended
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Blueberry Mint Preserve

  • 1.5 cups blueberry
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp white sugar

Graham Cracker Crumble

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs

Directions

  1. For the base, combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth in a blender or food processor.
  2. For the bluberry mint preserve, add the blueberries, fresh mint, and sugar to a non stick pan on medium heat. Crush and stir the berries as the mixture heats up and you reach desired consistency. Once mixture has come to a boil remove from heat and let cool slightly. If you prefer this mixture to be even smoother you can blend it.
  3. For the graham cracker crumble, brown the butter on the stove in a small pan by melting on medium heat and stirring constantly until milk proteins slowly start to brown and become golden. Add the brown butter to the graham cracker crumbs and stir.
  4. Put the parfaits together by grabbing 3-4 glass jars depending on the size, recipe makes 3 large or 4 medium. I recommend an additional cup of fresh blueberries. Start with a yogurt layer, fresh blueberries, blueberry mint preserve, graham crumbs and then repeat until jar is full. Store in the fridge and enjoy!
