Fruity Yogurt Cups Food

YOGURT AND FRUIT PARFAITS

Steps:

• Layer 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt into the bottom each of 4 tall glasses. Combine defrosted strawberries and juice with fresh berries. Alternate layers of fruit and granola with yogurt until glasses are filled to the top. Serve parfaits immediately to keep granola crunchy.

EASY BREAKFAST YOGURT AND FRUIT CUPS

Steps:

• To make the compote, simply place the fruit, sweetener and lemon/lime juice (and vanilla if you're making the strawberry compote) in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the fruit has broken down and the compote has thickened slightly. Keep in mind that it will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Remove the compote from the heat and allow to cool.
• Layer with the Greek yogurt in sealable jars/containers and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.

YOGURT & HONEY FRUIT CUPS

Steps:

• Divide fruit among 6 individual serving bowls. Combine the yogurt, honey, orange zest and extract; spoon over the fruit.

MAKE-AHEAD FRUIT AND YOGURT CUPS

Steps:

• Add a few tablespoons of fruit to the bottom of your mason jars, then proceed with the yogurt, and finally more fruit. The number of layers you create is totally up to you, based on how "meaty" you'd like your Fruit and Yogurt Cups. I recommend leaving a bit of room on the top of the yogurt cups so you can add granola, muesli, or nuts/seeds before enjoying. Seal the jars.
• Store the Fruit and Yogurt Cups in the fridge for up to 3 days (or longer, think about the lifespan of your fruit).
• To enjoy, top the cups with granola, muesli, nuts/seeds, and/or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

YOGURT AND FRUIT DESSERT CUP

Steps:

• Layer custard style fruit yogurt with granola or Grape nuts and chunks of cut fruit. The fruit costs more cut than fresh, but when your cooking for 1, whole pineapples and melons can be daunting. Here, it's worth the extra cost to treat your body to some fresh fruit.

FROZEN FRUIT AND YOGURT CUPS

Steps:

• Coarsely crumble the biscotti into 2 small bowls. Puree the yogurt and frozen raspberries in a blender until smooth and thick. Spoon the yogurt mixture over the biscotti. Drizzle each bowl with the honey and sprinkle the almonds on top. Serve with a cup of Americano coffee, if desired.

FRUIT FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• In a food processor combine the fruit and sugar.
• Using on-off coarsely chop the fruit.
• Stir together the yogurt and the lemon juice.
• With the machine running slowly pour in the yogurt.
• Process until smooth and creamy; scrape down the sides once or twice.
• Scoop into serving dishes.
• Cover and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
