High-Protein Greek Yogurt Parfait

1.Wash and gently pat dry the fresh berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

2.In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with ground cinnamon and ground flaxseed (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and flaxseed.

3.In a clear glass or parfait dish, start by spooning half of the yogurt mixture as the base layer.

4.Add a layer of half the mixed berries evenly over the yogurt.

5.Sprinkle one tablespoon of chopped almonds and half the chia seeds over the berries for crunch and extra protein.

6.Repeat the layering with the remaining yogurt, berries, almonds, and chia seeds.

7.Drizzle the teaspoon of honey over the top layer if additional sweetness is desired, keeping in mind blood sugar considerations.

8.Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing aroma and presentation.

9.Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow chia seeds to soften slightly for a creamier texture.
