Dairy Free Waffle Yogurt & Fruit Parfait
FitMenCook
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Here’s a quick & easy “pick-me-up” snack to get you over that after lunch (and afternoon) hump!
With summer right around the corner, many people are altering their diets by reducing the amount of carbohydrates and/or cutting out dairy (in order to help reduce the amount of water between your skin and your muscles so that the muscles really pop).
And for others, they are realizing that consuming some dairy products just doesn’t agree with their bodies. Which is a much more frustrating, and often times debilitating, problem to have.
So, instead of giving up dairy completely, try cultured coconut milk yogurt. It is rich in fiber, calcium, vitamin D and B12, and depending which kind you purchase (plain, unsweetened), fairly low in sugar as well.
See below for macros with 1 cup Greek yogurt instead of coconut yogurt.
