Spa Index Kitchen Notes

A sinfully tasting (yet oh-so good for you) dessert! Traditional parfaits can be full of fatty, calorie-dense ingredients like cream, and can pack in as much artery-clogging saturated fat as a cheeseburger! There is zero saturated fat in our Pritikin parfait, and just 70 calories per serving.

If you use plain non-fat Greek Yogurt, this is a nice breakfast.

If you instead use Vanilla Frozen Yogurt (non fat and sugar free, if you can find it), it becomes a much richer dessert.
