Frozen Yogurt Cones - DIY


This is such a delicious... healthy... easy.... fun treat!
 I think it is perfect for a hot summer day, or even as dessert. I know that I have my moments where I am just craving ice cream or something else sweet, and this way I get my satisfaction & its not that unhealthy!

Here is my shopping list!
  • Waffle Cones (I bought Keebler brand)
  • Light & Fit Greek Yogurt
  • Nature Valley Protein Granola
  • Blueberries
  •  Raspberries
  • Strawberries
Here is what I did to make these:
  1. place waffle cone into a bowl or glass. (you want the bowl or glass to hold the cone upright)
  2. in a bowl, mix together some yogurt, fruit and granola
  3. scoop the mixture into the waffle cones, almost all the way to the top
  4. sprinkle some granola and fruit on top
  5. place in freezer for 2-4 hours. 

This treat was so simple & quick to make. 
You can really be creative with this healthy snack..

Note: I did make another batch of these and left them in the freezer over night... I personally think the yogurt got too hard and frozen. When I did my 1st batch and only left them in the freezer for 2 hours, it was almost a perfect frozen yogurt consistency.  

Comment a picture below if you try these! I would love to see what toppings you choose!

uiltfree Dessert

 I actually made these desserts for Superbowl... but then the idea popped into my head... VALENTINES DAY! This is a great way to enjoy a nice and pretty dessert on Valentines day with the ones you love! And it is so quick and simple!

All it is is fresh fruit, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries; with light and low fat chocolate syrup drizzled over it!

I sometimes take it an extra step and top it with light whipped cream!
mmmmm...

My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

There are so many ways you can present this dessert also, it was just an at home dessert for us and Brian this time so I just used a normal clear drinking glass. However, you could use a pretty plate or fun martini glass or something else creative!

Just have fun with it and enjoy your Guiltless Valentines Dessert!

Chocolate filled raspberries --> quick & easy snack!

I just simply filled up my frosting tuber with melted semisweet baking chocolate, and after I washed the berries, I injected each berry with a squirt of chocolate.
 
 
I then placed the berries in a round cake pan on a small piece of wax paper.
Then placed the pans in the fridge to let the chocolate harden.
 
 
Within an hour, the chocolate was hardened, and the raspberries were ready to eat!
 
 
Just my personal opinion, and a few opinions of some family and friends that ate them.... AMAZING!!
 
I defiantly suggest to try these to anyone and everyone!
