Pina Colada parfait! Try this delightful combination for breakfast or as dessert. As an added bonus there are 9 grams of protein, which helps us feel full longer. Most women need to eat more protein. Here’s the recipe with step-by-step directions and pictures too!

Ingredients:

1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks

2 teaspoons of flaked coconut (1 tsp. for garnish)

1 container of coconut flavored Greek yogurt (I like Wal-Mart’s Great Value brand best)

I like to use my mini food processor for this recipe. It’s great for the small quantity.

Place pineapple in processor.

Add yogurt and 1 teaspoon of coconut.

Process on high until the pineapple is cut and mixed into the yogurt. Sometimes I thaw the pineapple slightly so that it cuts easier.

Then place the mixture in a chilled parfait glass.

Top with the remaining teaspoon of coconut and 1 small piece of pineapple as a beautiful garnish.

This can be eaten right away or placed in the freezer for ½ an hour.

This is a delicious breakfast on a hot summer morning or a delightful healthy dessert.

I ate this one as part of my lunch!
