What they don't tell you is that it's loaded with sugar! Just remember, almost always low fat=high sugar. Be careful.

Ooooo, there was just a discussion thread on this product in yahoo's OSSG graduates group. Here's what the poster there said she found out about the nutritional content of this product when she called McDonald's:<P>"Guess what ... the large (with the granola topping) size has, like, 380 CALORIES, 10 grams protein (good thing), 49 grams suger and 75 grams carbs! Without the granola topping, the large parfait has 280 CALORIES, 8 grams protein, 53 grams carbs."<P>Sheesh! All I can say is, proceed at your own risk. :D

I agree with Willow, just add a tablespoon of grapenuts on top for the extra crunch, it's a great treat!

I don't know the calorie content of the Yogurt Parfait, but I know it is FULL of sugar. The strawberries are sweetened and the yogurt is too. I agree that it is wonderful - used to eat them pre-op. Wouldn't touch one now if my life depended on it.
