Notes on the ingredients
Frozen Greek yogurt: Key is to get a quality GREEK frozen yogurt b/c of its low calorie and high protein content. Beware of ones that say ‘Greek’ but have the same poor/mediocre nutritional content as regular frozen yogurt. Trader Joe’s carries a good one but it does taste like yogurt. Adonia makes one that is almost as healthy and tastes like ice cream but costs a little more. Many regular supermarkets and most specialty food stores now carry it.
Calorie-free topping: Not only does this exist but it actually tastes good. The brand I use is Walden Farms (they also make a calorie free strawberry syrup that I will feature on a killer strawberry crunch sundae). Check specialty food stores and even some regular supermarkets- refrigerated section. Note- it’s sweetened with sucralose (Splenda).
Enjoy and stay healthy!
