Blueberry Banana Cashew Parfait


My dear Mum gave me this recipe, and it is an absolute favorite of mine.  I eat this almost every night as my last meal (which usually ends up being around 7 or 8 o'clock), so it ends up being dessert.  It's simple, attractive, and tastes divine.

Bananas and blueberries are always a delicious combination, but the cashews are what really make this perfect.  Cashews are a soft nut (unlike most peeled peanuts that we can purchase in stores) and have a wonderful mellow taste. 

(By the way, did you notice that yogurt is listed as a carb and Greek yogurt is listed as a protein?  Do you know why?  I don't know the reason for certain, but my idea is that yogurt is lower in calories/protein/fat so you can have more of it, while Greek yogurt has a higher protein/fat/caloric count.  I make my own yogurt and add a tablespoon of chia seeds to it which makes it as thick and creamy as Greek yogurt, without adding any extra calories.  Plus, chia seeds are healthy too!)
