Cool Greek Yogurt Parfait

Cold and tart, which helps override a metallic taste, while the smooth yogurt soothes a sore mouth and delivers easy protein.

Gentle for metallic taste, a sore mouth, low appetite.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (pasteurized)
• 1/3 cup soft fruit (banana, ripe berries, peach)
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• Optional: a little granola if mouth is okay

How to make it

1. Spoon half the yogurt into a glass.
2. Add a layer of soft fruit and a drizzle of honey.
3. Repeat layers.
4. Serve cold; add granola only on top, only if comfortable to chew.
5. Tip: Tart/cold flavors often taste 'right' when metal taste hits. Leave out granola for a tender mouth.
