If you're like me you enjoy those wonderful yogurt, fruit, and granola parfaits. There's nothing wrong with that, really, especially if you use low-fat yogurt, and fruit, well all fruit is great for you. It's that last ingredient that can cause us some trouble.
Many granola products are high in sugar, in fact most are. If you're really trying to cut sugar intake and calories, then a better choice would be to substitute Kashi cereal for the granola. You'll still get the crunch, but with a whole lot less sugar.
That's my tip for today. Kashi verses granola. Try it and see what you think. Remember, you can still add a couple almonds to your parfait to get that nutty flavour.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. May the sky be shining in your part of the world!
Blessings,
Eileen

mmm, kashi! I love it mixed with yogurt and strawberries. I will often throw a handful on top of my Cheerios just for a little crunch but not all the calories of having a full bowl of it!
