Here’s a delicious, low-calorie, no-sugar dessert idea:
Greek Yogurt Parfait with Berries and Almonds
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 1 tbsp sliced almonds (or any nuts of your choice)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1-2 tbsp stevia, monk fruit, or any preferred sugar substitute (optional)
- A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Berries: Wash and dry your berries. If you’re using larger fruits like strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces.
- Sweeten the Yogurt: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and a sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit) to taste.
- Layer the Parfait: In a serving glass or bowl, layer the sweetened Greek yogurt with the mixed berries.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle the sliced almonds or other nuts on top for added texture and crunch.
- Optional: You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a warm, cozy flavor.
Why it’s great:
- Low-calorie: Greek yogurt is naturally low in calories, and you control the sweetness by using a sugar substitute.
- High in protein: Greek yogurt provides a good source of protein, making this dessert filling.
- No added sugar: The sweetness comes from berries and sugar substitutes, which keep it low-calorie and no-sugar.
This simple dessert is refreshing, satisfying, and guilt-free! You can also customize it by using other fruits or adding a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup.
