Blackberry Yoghurt Mango Parfait

Happy Friyay my lovelies! It has been mango season in Nairobi and I always take advantage of these sweet delicious fruit. Mango is used to make ice cream, juices, fruits bars, smoothies, ice cream, fruit bars, raspados, aguas frescas, pies, and sweet chili sauce. In Central America, mango is either eaten green mixed with salt, vinegar, black pepper, and hot sauce, or ripe in various forms. Pieces of mango can be mashed and used as a topping on ice cream or blended with milk and ice as milkshakes.  Sweet glutinous rice is flavored with coconut, then served with sliced mango as a dessert. Green mangoes can be used in mango salad with fish sauce and dried shrimp. Mango with condensed milk may be used as a topping for shaved ice. Sour, unripe mangoes are used in chutneys, athanu, pickles, side dishes, or may be eaten raw with salt, chili, or soy sauce.  Ripe mangoes are also used to make curries.  The fruit is also added to cereal products such as muesli and oat granola or parfait. Mangoes may be used to make juices, mango nectar, and as a flavoring and major ingredient in ice cream and sorbets. As you can see, the mango is not just a humble fruit but can be incorporated in many meals, from the savory to sweet. For my parfait today I chose to use cereal and to layer with the blackberry yoghurt. I love that with parfaits you can use fruit, cereals, granola, cake or even oats to layer the dessert.

When it comes to meal preparation, the food may be fully cooked, precooked or even just set out in readiness for the preparation. People often do meal preps for different reasons which include but not limited to those who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, those who want to lose weight, those who want to gain muscle or even as a recommendation by their doctors for certain diets based on their illnesses. Meals may eb prepared in small quantities and store in containers to be cooked at a later date or even cooked just waiting to be warmed up.
