DOLE® Take Me Away #DoleParfaitEscape #spon

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

Sometimes you just need a sweet escape. That is certainly what I need this week. Sunday morning { don’t laugh } I was run over by a golf cart while walking home from breakfast. { I said don’t laugh! } I am blessed to live on a resort on the south end of a tiny island. There are lovely paths to meander to the ocean and along the salt marshes, several restaurants and a few golf courses. Who knew that one angry golfer could run you over on a sidewalk…but that is exactly what happened. On top of that he didn’t even stop. So I am the victim of a hit and run golf cart accident. { I said don’t laugh! }

DOLE Fruit Parfait Taste test

After I picked myself up, dusted the sand and grass from my bruised self…I hobbled home carrying the dog. He refused to walk after said event. I was a sight. HIMself was at work, so I had to attend to my wounds. Both ankles are sprained, my knee is strained and my back requires an MRI! So I am in need of some pampering and a sweet escape.

Luckily, I was asked to review the NEW DOLE® Fruit Parfaits as part of a Blog Tour. They shipped me a nice big box filled with their yummy, low fat snacks. I receive all three flavors…

Pineapple and Crème | Peaches and Crème | Apples and Crème

DOLE Fruit Parfaits #DoleParfaitEscape

After the Ace bandages were all in place…I treated myself to a taste test. I opened one of each flavor. I can do that because they are naturally low in fat, cholesterol free, rich in Vitamin C (25%), very low in sodium and only 130 Calories each! At first bite, I knew I was in love with the sweet surprise of the warm and creamy DOLE Fruit Parfaits. { I heated mine for a few seconds in the microwave. } I immediately had the taste of real fruit followed by the smooth, sweet, light ‘creme,’ as DOLE calls it. It reminds me of summer cobblers our housekeeper made when I was a child.

Bandages and DOLE Fruit Parfaits

When HIMself came home, he was ready for a quick snack. So I told him to grab a DOLE Fruit Parfaits. He enjoyed the  cool, refreshing taste of real fruit with a smooth layer of deliciously light-tasting crème.

I am taking it easy this week and every day I indulge in a sweet escape with a different flavor of DOLE Fruit Parfait. I think I like the Peaches and Crème, no the Pineapple and Crème or the Apples and Crème the best!! I can’t really decide which I like most…so I will continue the taste test for some time. { WINK } Please feel free to join me!!!

DOLE Fruit Parfaits are available in the canned fruit section at select grocery stores. Suggested retail price is $2.79/per package of four.  Please visit DOLE.com for more information.
