Bio-K+, a company whose products are rooted in over 25 years of research, proposes the Cranberry-Orange Probiotic Parfait recipe. The no-bake holiday dessert layers plain or vanilla Greek yogurt mixed with the brand’s Vanilla Drinkable Probiotic, chilled cranberry sauce, granola, and chopped pecans. The delightful and nourishing treat is finished with orange zest and fresh fruit.
Bio-K+ spotlights its Cranberry-Orange Probiotic Parfait as a lighter dessert option that still feels festive and indulgent, without the heaviness and bloated feeling that usually follow a rich holiday meal. The no-bake format also contributes to the practicality of the recipe.
Bio-K+ recommends its Vanilla-flavored Dairy Probiotic Drink as the base, which boasts "50 billion scientifically studied beneficial bacteria" to support the gut.
