DESSERT that won't kill you!

I don't know about you, but in the past three weeks I have found myself attending at LEAST 15 events where the food has been out of control. Whether it be graduation parties, banquets for school, birthdays or pool-side barbeques, my quickly growing mid-section has been sabaged!!


I have tried taking my own food, eating before I go, or just sitting in a corner not eating, chewing on a piece of grass or eating gum. Don't threaten me with a good time! So instead of freaking out, I decided I should contribute a healthy option that won't freak people out!


Enter PARFAIT!!

SUPER easy!

Step ONE: Buy your favorite organic/healthy/tree-hugger granola. Fill cup 1/3 full

Step TWO: Select the ripest/brightest/juiciest in season fruits like berries, kiwi, peach etc! Chop, mix, layer 1/3

Step THREE: Get some 0% fat Greek Yogurt (trader joes or local hippie store) and mix with some Lemon CURD...just to give a little extra flavor and bite! The mixing also makes the yogurt smoother! Layer for the top 1/3

Step FOUR: Using a hand peeler, shave some 72% chocolate on top for a garnish..

EAT!!!!
