Instead of Pinkberry...

Try a Greek Yogurt Parfait

If you’re craving a creamy frozen yogurt-type treat, Reames recommends combining nonfat Greek yogurt with a high-fiber fruit, like raspberries or blueberries. Top it off with a sprinkle of ground nuts or flaxseed for a crunchy texture. “The yogurt has about 9 g of sugar, 20 g of protein, and about 120 calories, so it’s not bad at all,” he says. “Combine it with a cup of raspberries that has about 9 g of fiber. The ground nuts or flaxseed are both a good plant source of omega-3 fats, and what you get is real synergy with this treat.”
