It's true that most of the calories in nuts come from fat, but our bodies need some of these fats. Nuts provide protection from heart disease and help reduce blood pressure.
1 cup plain, fat-free Greek-style yogurt
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/3 cup diced frozen strawberries
1—2 packets Truvia or other natural sweetener
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
In a food processor, combine the yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, sweetener, and vanilla and process until smooth. Stir in the nuts. Transfer the mixture to a pint container, cover, and freeze for about 30 minutes, or until just frozen. Scoop into 4 parfait glasses and serve immediately.
Note: This dessert can be served later, but it will form ice crystals if frozenlonger than directed and thus won't be as creamy.
Note: If you opt to leave out the nuts, the calories are halved, or 45 perserving.
