Merry Berry Parfait
For this simple and absolutely delicious dessert (your dinner guests will be shocked when they hear it's just 100 calories per serving), you can use frozen berries and mangoes instead of fresh. Be sure to purchase products that list ONLY the fruit in the Ingredient List -- no added sugars. And thaw your fruit in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
