A Healthy Snack

Yesterday, Pearl and I made some healthy snack. It was an inspiration from Nigella's.

We crumbled some Mc Vitie's wholemeal cookies (around 4 to 5 pieces). I bought some frozen strawberries from the supermarket a couple of days ago, so we pulsed the whole 500g pack with 1-2 tablespoon/s sugar in a blender/food processor. It has to be frozen strawberry so it will give you some coarse chunks, not soggy ones. I also had some plain low-fat yogurt which is best for this snack. I was tempted to use whip cream, folded with some melted white chocolate (the variations you can have), which will definitely be tastier, but I had to say no to that. So next, we layer the ingredients in some clear cups. First, the cookie crumbs went in, then the strawberries and then the yogurt. Repeat the layers until the cup is full, making sure that the final layer will be the yogurt. Sprinkle some cookie crumbs again on the yogurt for garnishing.
