What is Recipe ReDux?
As the first and only recipe challenge founded by registered dietitians,The Recipe ReDux is focused on taking delicious dishes, keeping them delicious, but making them better for you. Dietitians Regan Jones (of ReganMillerJones, Inc.), Serena Ball and Deanna Segrave-Daly (both of Teaspoon Communications) founded the group on the belief that healthier eating should always taste delicious. As the Latin term “redux” means to revisit or reinvent, we are reinventing the idea of healthy eating with a taste-first approach. We aim to inspire the food lover in every healthy eater and inspire the healthy eater in every food lover.
September Challenge:
Get Your Dehydrator On
Whether it’s extra garden bounty or a sale at the supermarket – dehydrating food is a budget-friendly way to stock up for later. You can use a food dehydrator, a low slow oven, or natural sunshine to preserve natural healthfulness. Show us how you like to dehydrate, or a healthy recipe for how you enjoy using dehydrated fruits, veggies or other bounty.
Prune and Apple Yogurt Parfaits
For this challenge I chose two of my favorite dried fruits: prunes and apples!
I love prunes as is and also reconstituted as cooked stewed prunes and soaked in juice or wine. For this recipe I chose to rehydrate these dried plums in grape juice. I kept the dried apples as is to retain that crisp crunch.
Add some vanilla Greek yogurt and you have a delicious parfait!
Simple. Easy. Dessert!
- 1 cup dried prunes
- 2 cups grape juice
- 2 cups vanilla non-fat Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup dried apple pieces
- Soak prunes in grape juice at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Layer yogurt, and prunes to fill a parfait glass. Top with dried apple pieces.
