Now that I've sworn off sweet treats for all of time, my mouth waters at the simplest healthy indulgence. Like this one -- the Any-Time-Of-Day Parfait. I stumbled upon this recipe while flipping through the pages of a Publix well & fit magazine, and I can't wait to build this layered number for myself. Check this out, give it a try, and let us know what you think.

The Stuff

3 kiwi fruit, peeled
1 six-ounce carton plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup bite-size shredded wheat biscuits, coarsely broken
1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted dash ground cinnamon

The How-To

Coarsely chop kiwi. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Then layer cereal, fruit, and yogurt mixture into two 8 to 10-ounce parfait glasses. Sprinkle with almonds and cinnamon.

The Nutrition Low-Down

While I wonder a bit about the sugar in each serving (the sugar in yogurt usually is a show-stopper for me), this dessert-of-sorts has me intrigued. So I think I'll give it a try. By the way, I don't personally worry much about carbs since I'm active and plan to burn them one by one.
