With every season comes celebration, holidays and yummy (not so low calorie) foods. As I Registered Dietitian and mom I encourage “fun food” regularly as long as it is balanced with other healthy choices. BALANCE is a simple concept but a hard one to do in daily life at times. Breakfast and snack time are simple times in your day you can focus on health to simplify the secret of BALANCE. My Mason Jar Rainbow Parfait not only is a perfect healthy treat to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but also is a simple inspiration to promote health and balance all year long!
Fruit is the easiest way to increase health in your diet its natural sweetness is appealing to most taste buds!
Fruit is rich is antioxidants and fiber that are so good for your body! To create the rainbow affect you can pick from an array of different colored fruits.
Rainbow Parfait Ingredients:
- Red Raspberries
- Cutie orange
- Banana
- Green grapes
- Blueberries
- Low-fat vanilla yogurt
- A sprinkle of marshmallows (optional) or coconut
I used a 1pt Ball Mason Jars – Case of 12
and chose to decorate mine for St. Patrick’s Day as a fun treat for the kids that was healthy. Just arrange ingredients in the order of marshmallows, yogurt, raspberries, orange, banana, grapes and blueberries! Your rainbow is complete! My husband and the little ones approved! Dovidenia. XO
