Sometimes I have a major craving for ice cream; a “how fast can I get into the car and zip to the store” kind of craving. Unfortunately, there were several problems with this craving, the main one being the amount of calories ice cream can pack. I had made eating healthier a priority this year, but still had those twinges of cravings for my favorite comfort snack. Then I had an Eureka! moment as I was passing by the new Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!, who are sponsoring today’s article, “Why not make Yogurt Sundaes? They’re just as decadent and delicious as my ice cream sundae, but have a lot less calories.” The downside to the snack is they are gluten free and look so tasty that before I can finish preparing my sundae one of the kids comes along and says, “Can I have this when you’re through making it?”
It’s so simple to make, with only four ingredients and a prep time of less than five minutes. Here’s what you will need:
I started with a carton of Yoplait Greek 100 Banana Caramel flavored yogurt (love this stuff! It has a permanent place in my fridge.) I spooned half of the yogurt into a parfait dish and topped it with slices of banana. On top of this I added 1/2 carton of Greek 100 Whips! Vanilla Cupcake. The Greek 100 Whips taste amazingly like whipped cream and add the layer of creamy goodness all sundaes need. I finished by drizzling caramel ice cream topping over the top and adding a banana slice for garnish.
- 1 carton (5.3 ounces) Yoplait Greek Banana Caramel 100 Calorie Yogurt
- 1 carton (5.3 ounces) Yoplait Greek Vanilla Cupcake 100 Calorie Whips!
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping
- Divide the carton of Banana Caramel yogurt between two parfait glasses. Place 1/2 of the banana slices in each parfait glass on top of the yogurt. Top each parfait glass with 1/2 carton Vanilla Cupcake Yogurt. Drizzle each parfait with 1 tablespoon caramel ice cream topping. Top with a banana slice if desired.

This does sound delicious. It also looks like a healthier dessert that my kids would actually eat. Great idea!
I’ve had the banana caramel flavored greek yogurt and it was amazing! I love all the greek yogurt flavors by Yolplait.
I can’t believe that’s a yogurt dessert. It looks totally decadent! I’d eat that for a treat myself!
This looks delicious – I am definitely trying this!
This looks delicious! One of my best friends is GF so I want to make this for her the next time she visits.
This looks divine! I can’t wait to make some for my family or a dinner party dessert.
Oh my, this looks so yummy & delicious. Just 4 Ingredients, Just 5 Minutes, that sounds so good to give a try right away. Thanks for the wonderful recipe with clear instructions.
I would so eat this!! Now I’m hungry! Lol
This banana parfait looks so good. It’s a great dessert to serve at family gatherings that everyone would love.
I love that you made this with Greek yogurt. I could really enjoy this with less guilt. Yum!
These caramel banana parfaits look so good! I love that they are so quick and easy to prep too.
Caramel makes me happy. Bananas make me happy too. 🙂 I bet I’d like this parfait.
easy to make and sure to please!
I am sharing with my celiac friends
That looks wicked good! I am such a caramel sucker, and love anything with caramel drizzle.
This looks delicious. I could probably just eat the carmel by itself!!
This sounds tasty enough! Banana and caramel go great together! I know I’ll be sharing this post with my sister. She is a big fan of parfaits!
I hadn’t heard of Yoplait Greek Whips. So going to get them when I go to the store.
oK, this looks delicious! I love Whips so I’m going to try this.
Wow this looks so yummy! And gluten free too — can’t beat that!!!
Looks yummy and the whips act like ice cream, right?
This sounds delicious! What a perfect dessert that doesn’t have nearly the amount of guilt attached!
Ice cream is a weakness for me. Love it! This seems to be a delicious alternative. Going to give it a try! Thanks for sharing this amazing looking recipe!
Those whips look delicious and I love what you mixed with them. Caramel is a favorite of mine and that would make the perfect dessert.
Such a steal at 100 calories! I love the mix with caramel and banana
I passed along my sweet tooth to my children, so I’m always looking for things that will satisfy that need without being complete junk. These parfaits look perfect!
Great idea. I love the combination. Yumm.
GREAT recipe and super yummy pictures too. I must have this.
I love parfaits! Sadly, I haven’t tried one with bananas!
Big fan of Greek yogurt, it’s so healthy and low calorie; this sounds like a perfect snack!
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to give them a try!
That looks delicious! I hadn’t seen the vanilla cupcake flavor before. I’ll have to look for it!
Oh my gosh, yum. I think I may need to try this immediately! This looks incredible I wouldn’t be able to have just one, or two haha!
Wow, that looks delicious! I have a Vanilla Cupcake Whips! in my fridge now and am definitely going to do that!
Vanilla cupcake whips sound heavenly! I need to be on the lookout for those!
I love bananas and I started tracking my calorie intake. This looks delicious, so I am going to try this 🙂
Me too. Bananas are so good to curb that hunger too.
Caramel and banana sound like they would be great in this treat! I need to get my hands on some whips!
This is just what I need when the sweet tooth attacks! I love that it is a low fat/low cal snack!
I’ve never had the whipped yoplait greek yogurt. I never even knew about it. Their flavors seem amazing.
This looks amazing. I’m a huge fan of anything with caramel.
This looks really good. I’m all over this – maybe a snack today!
These look and sound good. I am allergic to Bananas so I will use something else. I like that it is Gluten Free.
I am allergic to them, too, but it has never stopped me in the past 😉
I love that this is lower in calories. So that means I can have 2, right?
Definitely! Eat both of them and don’t share. 🙂
