Glycemic Load (GL): 5 Low
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 cup blueberries, washed
- 1 cup raspberries, washed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (stevia or erythritol)
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup low-sugar, whole-grain granola (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Berries: Wash and hull the strawberries. Combine the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a medium saucepan.
- Add Lemon Juice and Sweetener: Pour in the lemon juice and add the sugar substitute. Stir well to combine.
- Cook the Compote: Set the saucepan over low heat. Let the berries simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes. The berries will release their juices and thicken into a compote. For a smoother texture, mash the berries with a fork or use an immersion blender.
- Layer with Greek Yogurt: In parfait glasses, layer the Greek yogurt and berry compote. Start with a spoonful of yogurt, then add a layer of compote. Repeat until the glasses are full, ending with a dollop of compote on top.
- Add Granola (Optional): Sprinkle a handful of low-sugar granola on top for added crunch.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy as a refreshing dessert or nutritious snack. The berry compote can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it a convenient addition to your meals.
