This is a simple and delicious snack that you could even make as a dessert or when you are just craving something sweet. I found it on the Eating Well website at this link - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/pina_colada_yogurt_parfait.html. I made mine a little different (4 oz Activia Light Vanilla Yogurt, 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, 2 tbsp coconut flakes I toasted on the stove).
Here are the instructions from the website:
1/3 cup reduced-fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup crushed canned pineapple, or canned mandarin oranges
1 tablespoon toasted coconut
Top yogurt with pineapple (or canned mandarin oranges) and coconut.
Tip: To toast coconut: Place coconut in a small dry skillet and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes or spread in a shallow baking dish and bake at 350°F until light golden and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes
Per serving (with pineapple): 155 calories; 3 g fat ( 3 g sat , 0 g mono ); 4 mg cholesterol; 28 g carbohydrates; 5 g protein; 2 g fiber; 57 mg sodium; 325 mg potassium
Per serving (with oranges): 133 calories; 3 g fat (3 g sat, 0 g mono); 4 mg cholesterol; 22 g carbohydrate; 5 g protein; 1 g fiber; 60 mg sodium; 333 mg potassium
Enjoy!

Another tip: You can use fresh pineapple and perhaps use a food processor or blender to get the crushed pineapple consistency. If you use canned, try to get one that is in pineapple juice instead of the one in heavy syrup.0
