5 Low Calorie Fruit And Yogurt Parfait Recipes & Ideas

22 Mar

Looking for some quick and easy low calorie breakfast ideas? Try out these dessert worthy fruit & yogurt parfaits. You’ll find 5 delicious ideas for chocolate parfaits, citrus parfaits and more. They’re all under 200 calories and fat-free, but you’ll still feel like you’re “cheating”!

McDonald’s Fruit & Yogurt Parfait is a yummy treat, but it packs a lot more calories than you’d expect. The good news is – you can make low calorie parfaits at home that taste better, too! These fat-free parfait recipes use various fruits that will give your eyes and tastebuds a treat. You can also customize these low calorie breakfast or dessert ideas by incorporating your favorite fruits. Also, I recommend using Greek yogurt if you’re in need of a protein boost (however this will add about 50 more calories per parfait.) Chobani Pomegranate Greek Yogurt Review
