So, as we all know by now I have some issues with sweets.... and Halloween is not an easy time for me. Here is a great alternative to a bad-for-you dessert/afternoon snack. Just keep the ingredients prepared in separate bowls & make it when you need/want it!My new favorite recipe:
Tropical Fruit Parfaits (serves 6- takes 20 minutes to make)
1 cup plain, fat-free Greek-style yogurt (I love this stuff!)
3 tbl honey
2 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups ripe papaya (about 1 papaya)
1 1/2 cups ripe pineapple (1/2 a pineapple)
1 1/2 cups strawberries (about 1 pint)
6 tbls granola
1. Combine yogurt, honey & vanilla yogurt in a bowl
2. Layer the remaining ingredients in this order: papaya, yogurt, pineapple, yogurt, strawberry, yogurt & top with granola

Hi, Thanks for your comment on my blog. I am excited for our little one to arrive and am excited about doing stroller strides. I am anxious to have energy to exercise and be active again. I am also glad that you felt the same way about the nurse!!! It has been hard to relay to people how funny it was....at least someone else gets it!
