‘Parfait’ means ‘perfect’ in French – and there’s really nothing more perfect than a delicious breakfast parfait, packed with flavour ... and they’re healthy too!
And if you like variety, parfait is perfect for you.
Start with a small jar, glass or tumbler; preferably something transparent so that you can appreciate the beautiful colours and textures.
Gather your ingredients. The basics are:
Alpen Muesli (naturally)
Yoghurt
Fruit – cut to bite-sized chunks
Putting it all together:
Pour some muesli into your glass/jar – no more than a finger width.
Spoon some yoghurt on top of that – again no more than a finger width
Now layer some of your cut fruit on top.
Repeat the layering process again starting with the muesli – and continue until you reach the top of the glass.
Top tips for parfait perfection:
Use seasonal fruit – it’s more affordable and by following the seasons you’ll be experiencing variety throughout the year.
Add fresh herbs and spices for tantalizing pops of taste… For example, try a sprinkling of cinnamon with pear or apple. Or vanilla. Or a little dash of honey. A fresh mint leaf. Or a few shavings of lemon rind - for a sweet zesty twist.
Keep an eye on the Alpen social media channels throughout the month where we will be sharing recipes and getting our fans to share their favourite recipes too.
25 November is Parfait Day, but really, every day should be parfait day with Alpen and you.
