String up the patio lights, bring out the checkered table cloth, and dazzle your guests with this array of healthier patriotic desserts.
Celebrate the upcoming national holiday in style, but don’t feel that you have to overindulge or throw your diet to the wind (along with the fireworks) just because it’s the 4th of July. Instead, impress your guests with your lighter takes on these classic all-American favorites…
1. Patriotic Blueberry Strawberry Dessert
A layered dessert like a truffle can be a bit heavy for a humid barbecue or backyard pot luck. However, this patriotic dessert can keep it’s red, white, and blue stripes even if it cuts more than half the calories. Simply layer low fat Cool Whip, fresh blueberries, a layer of vanilla yogurt, and then a fresh layer of sliced strawberries in individual mason jars. Keep layering your patriotic heart out until you reach the top of each jar. Let your parfaits cool until guests are ready to gobble them up.
