Shannon's Good for You Parfait

"I came up with this recipe because I wanted something that tasted like a dessert, yet was still good for me. My mom loves when I make this for her because she says it tastes just like the one from McDonald's."

directions

  • Sweeten strawberries and blueberries to taste with noncalorie sweetener (about 1 1/2 teaspoons on each).
  • Layer half of blueberries in a wine goblet, half of yogurt, and then half of strawberries.
  • Top with 1 tablespoon of Grape Nuts and repeat with remaining ingredients in another wine goblet.
  • Yum.
  • Sometimes I use cherry pie filling (the kind made with Splenda, of course) instead of strawberries.

  1. This is very good. Tastes just like McDonalds Fruit and Yougart Parfait. I will be making this again. Thank you for posting this Shannon.
     
  2. I'm a BIG fan of parfaits! I prefer Honey Bunches of Oats cereal over the Grape Nuts. The Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries makes it sooo good and you don't even need fresh strawberries!
     
  3. I eat this all the time! I use plain non-fat yogurt instead of vanilla and use whatever fruits I have on hand. Grape-nuts are such a great crunch to it, alot better than the sweetened vanilla I think. This is a great snack or meal, I can't wait for summer to use fresh garden strawberries :)

I am a vegetarian and I love to cook. I have been trying to incorporate whole wheat into my baked goods and have been eating much healthier foods. I really don't have a favorite cookbook, I mainly try different recipes out on the internet.
