California Grapes and Greek Yogurt Cones and Parfaits
With the long days of summer also come the parties, sleepovers, and playdates galore…and during those times we as parents like to treat our kiddos and their guest to something a little extra special and fun! The dilemma is this – “How do I create a yummy, tempting treat that is also healthy and not loaded with sugars and fat?”
Well I think I may have the answer, check out the following recipe ideas for some treats your family and friends are sure to love!
How about a super yummy dessert cone?
or ….. a decadent looking parfait? At first glance these treats appear to be high sugar, high fat party desserts, but they are actually Healthy Snacks in Disguise! (I get nervous calling anything healthy — this recipe still has sugar, but it’s a healthier alternative to many snacks. Please review the nutrition facts for yourself below.)
These treats are easily made with a few simple ingredients! They are also fun and pretty to look at!
