Stacey, I have tried these and my kids absolutely love them. These have become a staple in our house now. However, I read was reading that some of the "healthy foods" you're eating every day are making fat cells sick and making it impossible to lose weight. What do you think? https://goo.gl/5AgfBY

Where was the lemon in the recipe....just in with the blueberries...thought it meant lemon cream.
Stacey
The lemon is in with the berries, so it is actually "berry lemon & cream parfait", but WordPress (the blogging platform I use) does not like the word "and" or any conjunctions in post titles, so I had to remove it. Sorry for the confusion.

Lemon with any kind of berries is one of my favorite flavor combinations. These look amazing!
Stacey
Thank you Taryn 🙂

These parfaits look so delicious and fresh. It's the perfect dessert for me - I always have bags full of blueberries in the freezer. We make smoothies with them and have them in yoghurt - I think parfait is next!
Stacey
Me too Katrin. I have a bag in the freezer right now.
