INGREDIENT NOTES:

Greek yogurt:

• It provides rich protein, creamy smooth yogurt to the base. Healthy and low-point Greek yogurt with non-fat and non-sweetened plain Greek yogurt.

Whipped topping:

• A fat-free version such as Cool Whip Free helps the dessert to feel airy. It also provides sweetness without many calories.

Vanilla pudding mix:

• Adds more vanilla taste and thickens up so that it becomes like a mousse. The instant pudding is sugar-free and is best used on those low points & for quick preparation.

Vanilla extract:

• It boosts the natural vanilla flavor in each bite. Real and artificial vanilla are fine depending on what you have.

Milk:

• Almond milk or skim milk makes the concoction vinaigrette & blendable. Unsweetened and low-point milk should always be used.

Optional toppings:

• For added texture and color use sliced strawberries, blueberries/cinnamon. The toppings make it special while keeping the amount of calories down.
