Baked Apple Yogurt Parfait
A simple breakfast for those on the go or a delicious desert after a meal! High in calories and protein, this parfait is ideal for cancer patients who have experienced weight loss during cancer treatment. Cancer survivors and caregivers looking for a lower fat option can use low fat Greek yogurt and omit the granola to have a healthy, low calorie snack or breakfast. If chewing and/or swallowing is difficult, cook the apples until fully soft and replace the nuts and granola with a spoonful of finely ground nuts or peanut butter and mix into the parfait.
