Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Small bowl or shaker bottle
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 4 small serving glasses or jars

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 0.3 oz sugar-free strawberry or raspberry gelatin mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 scoop approx. 30g unflavored or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries raspberries, blueberries, blackberries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, dissolve the sugar-free gelatin mix in the boiling water. Stir for at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  • Stir in the cold water.
  • In a separate small bowl or shaker bottle, mix the protein powder with the Greek yogurt until smooth and well-combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or milk to thin it slightly.
  • To create the parfait layers, pour about 1/4 cup of the liquid gelatin into each of the 4 serving glasses or bowls. Place them in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes, or until set but not completely firm.
  • Once the first layer is set, gently spoon a layer of the protein-yogurt mixture over the gelatin.
  • Carefully pour the remaining liquid gelatin over the yogurt layer.
  • Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is completely firm.
  • Before serving, top each parfait with a dollop of any remaining yogurt mixture and fresh berries.

Notes

  • Protein Powder: Ensure your protein powder is fine and dissolves easily to avoid a grainy texture. Unflavored is best to let the gelatin flavor shine, but vanilla works well too.
  • Bariatric-Friendly: This recipe is designed to be low in sugar and high in protein. Always consult your nutritionist for your specific dietary phase and needs.
  • Serving Size: The portion sizes are small, perfect for a post-bariatric surgery pouch. Eat slowly and listen to your body's fullness cues.
