Protein Parfait

high-protein dessert

A high-protein dessert or breakfast made with cottage cheese, yogurt, berries, and graham cracker crumbs.

Claudia Oelman says, “My husband has a sweet tooth but is trying to keep his figure, so I’ve been on the hunt for low-fat, low-sugar desserts. I found a great one that may also be a good breakfast option. It’s high in protein, low in fat, and yummy!”

Ingredients: 

1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 to 4 teaspoons raw sugar or honey
4 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
1 cup blueberries and raspberries
Zest of 1 lemon

Recipe directions: 

Blend the yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar or honey in a blender until smooth. Taste, adding more sugar or honey if you like.

Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins and top with the graham cracker crumbs, berries, and lemon zest.
