Blueberry Blast: A Mid-morning Snack

Blueberries, so fat and juicy, fresh from the sun-filled garden patch make a wonderful pick-me-up in the middle of a busy morning. This sweet-tart parfait combines plain yoghurt, sour cream, and maple syrup with blueberries, a spritz of lemon juice, and a sprig of mint. Easy to make in individual serving dishes.

You'll need: Plain yoghurt; sour cream; maple syrup; blueberries; fresh lemon, sprig of mint for garnishing.

Method: Place 2 tablespoons of plain yoghurt in the bottom of each individual serving dish.

Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to each dish.

Drizzle yoghurt and sour cream with 1- 2 teaspoons maple syrup and add 2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries.

Spritz with a little lemon juice, and gently blend berries, yoghurt, sour cream and maple syrup together. 

Garnish with a few blueberries, a lemon wedge and a sprig of mint. This delicious parfait also makes a wonderful light summer dessert.
