Helpful hints

    • Layer yogurt with fruit to transform this delicious parfait into an elegant dessert.
    • ReaLemon® lemon juice or ReaLime® lime juice can be used instead of fresh lemon or lime juice.
    • While the recipe allows for different lemon and lime juice options, my personal favorite was ReaLime® lime juice.
    • Check with your dietitian to be sure this recipe is acceptable for your individual diet. Yogurt is a significant source of protein, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. This recipe provides an easy way to increase protein intake but portion must be limited to keep other nutrients of concern within an acceptable amount.
