❤️Why you'll love this strawberry rhubarb yogurt parfait

Choices! This is a recipe that you can easily adapt. Use your favorite yogurt, as there are so many choices available: full-fat, low-fat, 0-fat, Greek, or yogurt made with dairy-free cultured milk like almond or coconut. Choose your sweetener, or leave it out.
This parfait recipe has very little sweetener as the natural sweetness of strawberries is all you need. It's sweet enough for dessert, and it's healthy enough for breakfast. Add a little granola on top if you want a more substantial breakfast.
Make it sugar-free! Use this recipe for Sugar-Free Rhubarb Compote sweetened with 0-calorie Monkfruit sweetener.

Skinny Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait in a glass jar garnished with a rhubarb curl.

Do you remember that shy girl in school who always depended on friends to draw her into a crowd? The one who wouldn't venture out if she didn't have someone stuck close by? Didn't like being on her own?

That girl is how I view rhubarb. It's nice, it's interesting, it's even strangely beautiful, but it doesn't like to stand alone. Rhubarb needs strawberries, or pineapple, or ginger, or even vanilla to bring out the best in it.

And when it gets the right companion, it's awesome. For example, pair it with mint and make this amazing Rhubarb Mint Mojito.

honey or maple syrup (optional)
rhubarb compote, see instructions below
fresh strawberries

🥄 Instructions

To make this breakfast parfait, mix yogurt with honey or maple syrup (optional). Spoon a little into a glass jar or serving glass. add layers of rhubarb compote and freshly sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers.
Garnish with a drizzle of honey, or a curl of rhubarb and chill or serve immediately.

❓ How to make rhubarb compote, also called stewed rhubarb

I like to have rhubarb compote stored in the refrigerator so I can use it in other recipes, like Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Smoothie, Creamy Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Overnight Oats or Rhubarb Bellini Prosecco Cocktail. It's very easy to make.

To make rhubarb compote, put 4 cups chopped rhubarb stalks in a medium pot with ⅓ cup water and ¼ cup maple syrup or honey. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender. Store in the refrigerator. (Or follow my recipe for Sugar-Free Rhubarb Compote.)

So next time, you spot rhubarb in your farmer's market, don't pass it up. Fill a bag with fresh stalks, find a soul mate like strawberries to enhance it, and create this Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait to begin . . . or end your day.
