I decided to make the Cran-Lemonade Parfaits for a great, summer snack for my family. It was so easy to do and tasted absolutely wonderful. Here is the recipe, with some alterations from the original,  if you are interested:

Ingredients: 1 cup one percent milk

3/4 cup Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Lemonade Juice Drink- We used Diet Cranberry Lime.

1 (1 ounce) package instant sugar-free lemon pudding mix

1/3 cup Ocean Spray Craisins® Dried Cranberries
1 cup fat-free non-dairy whipped topping

Can use granola if you like for garnishings.

Directions:

In a small  bowl, whisk milk, lemonade and pudding mix 2 minutes or until it turns thick.

Put 1/4 cup pudding mixture into bottom of four 1-cup  jars or cups; let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until pudding has firmed up.

Top each with 3 teaspoons Craisins and 3 tablespoons whipped topping. Repeat layers, dividing ingredients evenly among the cup. Garnish with additional granola and Craisins if you like.summer parfait

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Makes 4 (1 cup) servings

This was such a delicious desert to make and a very healthy desert without all the extra calories!summer parfait

He focuses on building a quality relationship with the kids so he can actually help them. Be a friend and not someone to fear. Our kids are always smiling when they see him. He definitely brightens people’s days!
