Produce Challenge: D’Anjou Pears

The Produce Challenge for today is a D’Anjou pear. Luckily, this is something we know a little bit about, so it wasn’t too difficult to find a recipe!

Recipe:

Pear Noodle Yogurt Parfait – From Inspiralized

Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup diced fruit (bananas, blueberries or strawberries)
• Greek yogurt – vanilla, blueberry, strawberry
• 1 cup favorite granola
• 2 medium pears (bosc or anjou)

Instructions

1. Divide your diced fruit at the bottom of three mason jars.
2. Top fruit with one container of Greek yogurt per mason jar.
3. greek yogurt with 1/3 cup of granola per mason jar.
4. Top granola with pear noodles in each mason jar.

Prep Time: 5 minutes…..or less!

For this, we took the fresh and easy approach – no cooking required!

The best part about a parfait is that you can really use whatever fruit you want. I happened to use strawberries, but if you didn’t want to do any cutting, go with blueberries or raspberries – there is NO bad combination for a breakfast parfait. As far as the granola goes, I used what I had leftover from earlier in the week and yes, it was still amazing!

When purchasing your D’Anjou pears, be sure to Check the Neck – apply just a little pressure with your thumb at the top of the neck of the pear; if it gives a little, it is ripe and ready to eat!
