Susan's Strawberry Parfait

Now, do I have your attention?

There is no law that says that because you are trying to lose weight that you cannot have some deliciousness every now and then. In fact, I believe that for weight loss to happen and for it to be permanent, deliciousness is a required element. Besides, it's Friday!

You can have this, yes you can. Susan watches carbs and used only strawberries when she made the beautiful dessert in this gorgeous photo, but she graciously allowed me to add blueberries to her recipe because, in my opinion, one cannot have too many blueberries.
