Healthy Bites

Yogurt Parfaits - A very healthy option for after-school snacks.

Use low-fat plain yogurt and mash up some bananas or berries with a fork and mix with the yogurt.

Start with a tall, clear glass and let your kids create their own parfait, layering spoonfuls of yogurt, fruit, granola, and other fun foods.

Yogurt is an excellent source of protein, containing anywhere from 10 to 14 grams per 8 ounce serving. Add in some granola and you've got a protein-rich snack.

Interesting fact: While many still argue yogurt can't compete with meat as a valuable source of protein, the USDA now considers yogurt, a meat alternative in school meal programs.
