- Today, I have a delicious dessert recipe for you.
Banana Split Berry Yogurt Parfaits,
a healthier way to indulge your sweet tooth
and a quick and easy treat the kids can help make.
Let's get to it.
This recipe makes four parfaits,
but you could always cut the ingredients by half
if you're serving only two people.
The base of our parfaits will be pineapple non-fat yogurt.
You'll need 12 ounces, which would be
two of the small containers you usually see in the store.
Be sure to stir the yogurt up
if it's the fruit on the bottom type.
To start, I'm scooping a third cup of yogurt into my glass.
You can use almost any kind of non-fat yogurt you like,
like vanilla, strawberry, or any fruit flavor.
It's delicious in these parfaits.
Next, we have one cup of sliced strawberries.
I'll scoop in one-quarter cup.
Again, you could use other berries or fruit
like raspberries, blueberries, cherries
or even chopped peaches.
I often use frozen berries that I thaw out ahead of time
which are just as nutritious as fresh berries,
but less expensive and certainly convenient.
Now it's time for the bananas.
I've sliced up one large banana.
We're spooning one-quarter cup of banana over my parfait.
When I have company I make these in tall glasses
and it really makes for a pretty presentation
when you can see all the layers.
Instead of nuts, we're using one-quarter cup total
of low-fat granola.
I'm sprinkling one tablespoon over the parfait.
Now for a healthier of version of fudge sauce,
I'm going to whisk together one tablespoon
of unsweetened cocoa,
one tablespoon of powdered sugar,
and two teaspoons of hot water
that I heated up in the microwave.
I'll whisk this until it's smooth and that should do it.
One teaspoon of our chocolate sauce goes over my parfait.
How's that for a quick dessert that won't pack on the pounds
but still looks and tastes like an indulgence?
I hope you get to try these
Banana Split Berry Yogurt Parfaits soon. Enjoy!
