Ingredients

1 tablespoon sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup finely diced mango
1/3 cup diced banana
2 teaspoons orange juice
2 (6-ounce) containers low-fat plain yogurt

Directions

If ripe mangoes are not in season, you can use juice-packed pineapple or peaches instead. Instead of plain yogurt, you could also choose artificially sweetened flavored yogurt.

1. On a piece of aluminum foil, toast the coconut for 10 to 15 minutes in a 350°F oven, stirring once or twice.

2. In a medium bowl, toss the mango, banana and orange juice together.

3. Spoon 3 tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom of two 10-ounce glasses. Top with 2 rounded tablespoons of the mango mixture. Top with 2 more tablespoons of yogurt, then 2 more tablespoons of the mango mixture. Top each with half of the remaining yogurt. Sprinkle half of the toasted coconut on top of each parfait.
