Serving Size:
Ingredients:
24 ounces low-fat soy vanilla yogurt, such as White Wave brand
4 teaspoons honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup quartered, hulled strawberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup diced honeydew melon
½ cup “Grape-Nuts® (or similar) cereal
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, honey, and vanilla; mix well. In four large goblets or clear dessert dishes, arrange fruit and yogurt mixture in four layers. Top with grape nuts.
Tips:
Look for especially juicy melon—its ripeness will help sweeten the dish. The crunch of the grape nuts is a chef’s way to keep you interested: The rough texture contrasts with the smoothness of the yogurt and the firm flesh of the fruit to make your mouth go, “Wow!” Keep the melon diced medium: It’s easier to eat small chunks rather than big ones, and the melon will go further. This dish has summer written all over it due to its berries and melons.
Substitutions:
Low-fat vanilla yogurt may replace the soy yogurt, blackberries may replace the blueberries, and cantaloupe may replace the honeydew melon.
