Lemon Blueberry Parfait

These Lemon Blueberry Parfaits are a light and refreshing addition to the brunch table with a minimal amount of ingredients and prep time. Plain Greek yogurt is flavored with lemon extract, sweetened with honey, then layered with granola (I used vanilla almond) and fresh blueberries. Top the parfaits with a little lemon zest and fresh mint for an extra touch of color.

I used Nielsen-Massey lemon extract to add a fresh lemon flavor to the otherwise plain yogurt. One teaspoon of the extract equals 2 tablespoons lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lemon zest. This all-natural product is also kosher, gluten-free certified, allergen-free, and GMO-free.

Not a fan of lemon yogurt? Nielsen-Massey has a variety of other extracts available to experiment with- including vanilla, almond, orange, orange blossom, rose water, chocolate, coffee, and peppermint.
