These Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Parfaits are easy, healthy and delicious! They are perfect for a quick breakfast or for a sweet snack. This family friendly recipe is sure to be a hit in your home. These parfaits are only 4 WW points on the green plan!
My whole family loves these parfaits, even my super picky 5 year old. They feel like such a fun treat and the kids can help you put them together. The lemon blueberry compote adds so much flavor and you get to control added ingredients (unlike store-bought).
What You Need:
- Frozen Blueberries - 0 points
- Lemon Zest - 0 points
- Lemon Juice
- Honey - can also use agave - 8 SmartPoints
- Arrowroot Powder - this helps thicken the lemon blueberry compote
- Yogurt - I used plain non-fat greek yogurt, but you can use whatever yogurt you prefer - 3 SmartPoints
- Low Fat Granola - or toasted almonds (nuts of choice) - 4 SmartPoints
- Total SmartPoints per serving - 4
*SmartPoints based on WW Green Plan
If you are prepping these ahead of time for the week, store them in airtight containers. I love these little glass jars from Weck. But don't add the granola until just before serving. You don't want it to get soggy in the fridge. The best part of granola is the crunch! To keep the WW SmartPoints lower in this recipe, I use low fat granola but feel free to use whatever granola you prefer.

Delish!!! How many days can they keep in the refrigerator? I wanted to use them as a breakfast prep for work.
Hi Jennifer, thank you! They will keep up to 5 days in the fridge, but I would recommend adding the granola when you are ready to eat so that it doesn't get soggy.
