Sweet Protein Parfait with Pear Syrup

1.Prepare the Pear Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped pear, water, honey, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pear is very soft and has broken down, about 8-10 minutes. Mash the pear with a fork or potato masher to create a chunky syrup. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2.Prepare the Protein Yogurt: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and honey. Stir vigorously until well combined and smooth. Ensure there are no lumps of protein powder.

3.Assemble the Parfait: In a glass or bowl, start with a layer of the protein yogurt. Spoon some of the cooled pear syrup over the yogurt. Add a layer of fresh berries.

4.Repeat the layers: Add another layer of protein yogurt, followed by more pear syrup and berries.

5.Top the parfait with a final dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of pear syrup, and a sprinkle of granola if desired. Serve immediately.
