Strawberry, yogurt, and granola parfait
Try this recipe for a low fat, tasty, quick, no cooking needed, kids can make this, perfect for a Fourth of July barbecue dessert.
The only hard part is bargaining with your family about what kind of yogurt to use. I like non-fat vanilla and others like plain Greek yogurt. You can work it out.
