Guilt Free Strawberry Parfait

It's summer and I've been eating too much gelato, Haagen Dazs, and occasionally frozen yogurt. I just can't stop eating ice cream. Is there anyone else in the same boat?

I found this easy-to-make strawberry parfait on youtube's Diet Health channel and I think I'm going to try it out. It's less than 200 calories of fat and even though it's not ice cream at least you know your work out won't go to waste. I think ice cream or gelato is still okay to eat as long as you don't sit all day or indulge in it. There's nearly 300 calories in each half cup serving of Hagaan Dazs and that's just a rough estimate. It can be more or less depending on which flavour of Hagaan Dazs. There's about 320 or 370 in my favorite Waffle flavor. (Still have a tub of it sitting at home).

Anyway, it's good to switch it up sometimes to get a good balance. That way you can have your sweet tooth satisfied without the guilt. So for a healthier choice try the parfait and when you've had enough, get a DQ cone for a change.
