Great summer desert!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fresh, tasty, and healthy (if you use less, low fat whipped cream)! I just don't understand the stated yield: I made it for... desert and I got 8 large servings... I will definitely make it again!!!Read more

WONDERFUL!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I LOVE this recipe, I have made it several times. I even make it minus the yogurt and granola. My kids love it, and everyone... else I have made it for loves it. My son's school had a "healthy recipe" contest, 200+ children entered it. I entered this recipe courtesy of Big Daddy's House and my son was first place winner. They even made it and served it to the kids! I LOVE Big Daddy's House and have yet to try a recipe that i wasn't happy with! Read more

Different Breakfast Option - Healthy and Beautiful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Well, I don't have big martini glasses, but i have a few wide and tall glasses, that held all the ingredients, and looked... appetizing. I put these out with other Christmas brunch fare, and I was amazed at how fast they went! Even from my son, who avoids "healthy" foods like the plague, came compliments(and an empty glass.) I used both plain yogurt, and some strawberry flavored, and I was asked to make them again! Best kind of test! ReenieRead more
