Marie’s Maple Parfait

My mom’s friend Marie is one of the best cooks I know, her food is always full of love and so creatively prepared. She makes this for us in the summer, a simple dessert from her Québécois background, with blueberries over vanilla yogurt drizzled with maple syrup. It is unbelievably good! I like to eat it on its own for snacks too so I add in some nuts and seeds to make it extra filling and increase the protein and fat content to balance out the sugar, keeping blood sugar levels from spiking too much. The ingredients don’t have to be exact but be careful not to use too much maple syrup, it pours out fast.

    I usually keep my maple syrup in the fridge..it then pours out slower and tastes better
