Ingredients

3/4 cup quinoa
Kosher salt
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use 2%, but you can use any kind you like)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 pint blueberries
2 kiwi fruit, peeled and diced
1/3 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse well. Transfer to a small saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, stir to combine the yogurt, honey, vanilla extract and lemon zest. To make filling the glasses easier and cleaner, transfer the yogurt to a large resealable plastic bag or piping bag and snip off a corner.
Place two 12-ounce glasses on a work surface and start to layer into each glass about 2 tablespoons blueberries, 2 tablespoons diced kiwi, 1/2 cup yogurt, a spoonful of quinoa and a sprinkle of almonds. Repeat the layering a second time, then top with a spoonful of quinoa, a few almonds, and scatter additional fruit over the top. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate overnight.

This parfait is not only visually appealing but also packed with nutrition. Quinoa provides protein and fiber, while blueberries and kiwi are loaded with antioxidants.
