This particular item caught my attention when I was watching Food Network. One of the chefs so artistically put together simple ingredients that it left me drooling. I tried my hand at it using low fat/fat free ingredients and I think it turned out pretty well....umm, at least it tasted great and satisfied my craving for something cold on a summer afternoon without adding up on unwated calories....And just in case the pictures leave you wondering, yup I ate the whole thing myself - A well deserved treat for an over-worked mom :)
Ingredients
8oz - Low fat or Fat free vanilla yogurt
1 scoop - Fat free Frozen yogurt (Any flavour. I've used Vanilla Chocolate Ripple)
1 Strawberry - Cut into four thin slices (Save the rest for the topping)
2 tbsp - Blueberries
2 tbsp - Green and Red grapes
4 tbsp - Cereal (Parfaits normallly use granola, but I did not have it handy and so I used Cereal instead. Did not taste too bad really!)
1 tsp - Honey
1 Cherry
Method
- In a tall glass or bowl pour the fat free/low fat flavoured yogurt
- Slide in the sliced strawberries from the side. You could cut up any other fruit and slide in in there for mroe colour,flavour and texture.
- Top this with the cereal/granola
- In a separate bowl combine honey with blueberries and grapes
- Add this as the next layer
- Finally, throw in that scoop of frozen yogurt and top up with the cherry
Noteworthy Notes
1. You can skip the ice cream all together and this would make a great brunch for kids who fuss to eat their fruit.
SERVES 1 (and is VERY filling)
