Background
With summer all upon us, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about ways to lose those extra insulating pounds I put on during the winter. Ah yes, the cold, cold, frigid California winter. But even summer desserts, with their yummy fruit, tend to still pack on the calories. Last night, Mike and I stumbled onto a killer combination, however, using just three ingredients and adding a mere 100 calories to our daily total. We enjoyed it so much, we had it again tonight. Heck for only 100 calories, I might have it again for breakfast!
Ingredients
10 ripe red raspberries
4 T. Cool whip lite
1 T. Special Dark Hershey's Syrup
Directions
Measure out ingredients into a bowl, stir, eat and bask in that "nom nom" feeling you're going to get when finished. Now, if you fancy ice cream for dessert, try Mike's trick (as lactose intolerant, he's had to get creative with frozen dessert): freeze the cool whip. It won't taste like frozen cow's milk and sugar, but it's a decent substitute on a hot summer's day. In this case, you can serve the dessert sundae style, with the berries and chocolate sitting on top of the Whip.
Calorie Breakdown
Raspberries = 1/berry (10 calories)
Cool Whip Lite = 10/T. (40 calories)
Special Dark Hershey's Syrup = 50/T. (50 calories)
