Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the quark, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and protein powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk until it reaches a creamy, spoonable consistency.
Gently fold in 1/2 cup (125g) of the fresh raspberries into the quark mixture.
In two serving glasses or small bowls, start by layering a portion of the quark mixture at the bottom.
Top with a few fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios (if using).
Repeat the layering process, finishing with a layer of quark, more fresh raspberries, and a final sprinkle of pistachios.
For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the parfait to set slightly.
💡 Pro Tip
For an extra boost of fiber and healthy fats, add a tablespoon of chia seeds to the quark mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes before layering. You can also swap raspberries for other berries like blueberries or blackberries.
