Finding quick and easy snacks may be easy, but your taste buds may not always agree with the convenience factor. We were sent a sample of the Dole Parfait and if your taste buds are like mine, the convenient snacks aren’t always the healthiest either. I’m always looking for healthy snacks that taste good and are appeasing to my two year old grandson as well. His parents like him to eat only healthy snacks, but what grandma on the go really has all tasty snacks- AND they have to be healthy??
My daughter is a big fruit and yogurt fan but lets face it, making your own parfait isn’t quick and easy… It takes time you cut up the fruit and put everything together.
My grandson was at my house looking for a snack (that was mom approved since my daughter was there too), so I decided to give my newly acquired Dole Parfaits a shot. Each little cup has a bottom layer of crème with chunks of fruit piled on top. Not only is each cup low fat, but they’re delicious and CONVENIENT (all you do is pop the top and viola). The cups come in three different varieties: peaches and crème, apples and crème, and pineapples and crème. My grandson’s favorite is the apples and crème, while I prefer the peaches and crème, but all are yummy.
The best part is in addition to being a snack, my daughter also uses them as a desert incentive for my grandson to finish his dinner.. it’s a WIN-WIN!

What snacks do you like to give your kids?
My kid was eating the plain fruit cups (she has a dairy allergy) but then I saw these. Talk about yum in a cup! It’s a dessert that I don’t have to feel guilty about.
My husband loves these things. He brings them to work every day….
I LOVE parfaits so this works perfect for our home.
I have always wanted to give these a try !! Thanks for the reminder.
I’ve had the Pineapple and Cream parfaits before and they are te-die-fer! My children love the Dole Fruit in Gelatin for snacks, they have not tried the parfaits as of yet (I like to hide them so they are all for me, lol).
These are tasty! Not only yummy but healthy and affordable. My favorite part, they are easy to toss in the kids cold lunches. 😉 I wonder if they will ever come out with a strawberry or blueberry one…??
Perfect snack anytime for anytime At 130 calories its just fantastic
I’ve never tried these but my kids are constantly asking for them. I may have to give in and buy a package of the peaches.
I have never tried these but my kids love the other DOLE cups for lunches. They are so convenient and flavorful. perfect for when you cant get fresh fruit:)
We love the apple ones. Very yummy!
My kids love the peach one
I have seen these in the stores. Maybe it’s time to put some in my shopping cart now.
My husband eats these for dessert when he is working out. They taste so decadent but they aren’t!
That lools so good!!!
Those look so good!!! 🙂
My whole family loves these-they are terrific and make me feel like we’re eating dessert-yet I feel good about giving them to my family!!
I have not seen these in the store yet, but will look for them. I would love the apple parfaits
Looks really good!!
I haven’t tried them, I’ve seen them in the store though. I’ll give it a try after my 28 day diet! But definitely will consider as a healthier alternative for my children’s dessert!
These look like something fun for a treat in the evening or tucked into a school lunch.
I have a bowl of fruit for my son every day after school-once in a while we’ve bought these. Son loves them , daughter doesn’t care for them much–not a huge yogurt fan “its like babyfood!” =}
I ove these! They are great to stash in your work desk for a quick snack and pick-me-up.
My fiance LOVES these!! He eats 2 a day , mostly his late night snack.
