Healthy, because
Blackberries give this yogurt a wonderful color. This is due to the anthocyanins they contain, which help protect the body's cells against free radicals. This dish is also a great source of protein and calcium, which is important for healthy muscles, bones, and teeth.
Even smarter
This dish also tastes great with other berries, such as raspberries or strawberries. If you want a vegan alternative to this yogurt parfait, you can replace the yogurt with soy or almond milk yogurt, and substitute the honey for maple syrup.
