Tree Bark Sundae

Have I got a yummy (and healthy!) snack for you...

I've been counting calories for a few months now, and my cousin introduced this sweet, but filling, treat. I make it for lunch everyday and take it to teaching with me. Here's the recipe:

Tree Bark Sundae

1/2 cup generic bran flakes cereal (I use Walmart's Great Value brand)

1/2 cup Special K cereal

1/2 container Weight Watchers Amaretto Cheesecake yogurt (although any should work!)

2 Tbsp. Cool-Whip Lite

fresh fruit (I usually use berries of some kind)

Mix all the ingredients together. (I mix the yogurt, Cool-Whip, and fruit first; then, mix in the cereal.) Enjoy!

How easy is that? And it's delicious! For reference, if you add:

4 raspberries and 10 blueberries, it's 221.8 calories

20 blueberries, it's 232 calories

approx. 1/4 cup of sliced strawberries, it's 230 calories

These are the only fruit combinations I've tried, and they've all been great! Be daring and try something new - peach? kiwi? cantaloupe? The possibilities are endless!

*Side Note: I count and keep track of my calories at caloriecount.about.com - it's easy and fast.

Well, I think that's all I have for today! Try this at home and let me know what you think!

Happy Making!
