Answer 4

This recipe is delicious.  It says breakfast trifle, but it would be a great dessert or celebration dessert.  Put a note with it saying that it's low fat yogurt and fruit, so people know it's not something "forbidden".

Breakfast Trifle

Ingredients

1/2 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated

4 cups plain nonfat yogurt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

      {You can use Dannon Light and Fit low cal, no fat yogurt in place of the 1st 3 ingredients}

9 slices Italian style or other white bread, crusts removed

12 ounces frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed

2 tablespoons SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated

1 (15 ounce) can cling peaches, no sugar added, drained

16 ounces frozen dark pitted sweet cherries, thawed and drained

1 banana, thinly sliced

Directions Blend 1/2 cup of SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener, plain yogurt and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.

Cut bread into rectangles.

Mix together raspberries and 2 tablespoons SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener gently. Do not drain raspberries.

To assemble trifle: POUR 1/2 cup of yogurt mixture in the bottom of the glass bowl.

Place 1/3 of the sliced bread on top of the yogurt mixture.

Top bread with 1/3 of the peaches, 1/3 of the cherries and 1/3 of the raspberries. Drizzle about 1/3 of the raspberry juice onto the bread.

Place 1/3 of the thinly sliced banana on top of the raspberries.

Pour 1/3 of the yogurt mixture over the bread and fruit.

Repeat steps 2-5 two more times, ending by pouring the remaining yogurt over the fruit.

Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the bread to fully absorb the fruit juices.

Note

Serving Size: 1/10 recipe

Exchanges per Serving: 1 Starch, 1 Fruit, 1/2 Fat Free Milk

You will need a large clear glass bowl (approx. 12 cups). A bowl with straight sides gives the best presentation.

Top with fresh fruit as a garnish before serving. Sliced kiwi and strawberries make an excellent garnish.

This can also be prepared in individual portions following the same layering technique. Use wine glasses instead of a large glass bowl.

Answer 5

a fruit tray

Answer 6

Fruit trays

OR stawberry short cakes

they are small and no too fating! better than eating cakes

Answer 7

Fresh fruit? Yogurt? There are healthy recipes that still taste like the real deal! Go to womansday.com.  I find tons of recipes on that site.

Answer 8

I have two easy party recipes that are low cal, low fat.

Angel Pineapple Cake:

1 box angel food cake mix

1 16 oz. canned crushed pineapple

1/2 cup sliced almonds

Mix the cake mix powder and pineapple (with the juice) together in a big bowl until well blended. Pour into a 8X11 cake pan and sprinkle with the almonds. Bake for 30 minutes at 350. Cool and cut.

It's more like a bar cookie than a cake.

Party Jello Delight

1 8 oz. tub sugar free Cool whip

1 16 oz. can crushed pineapple

1 16 oz. container of low fat cottage cheese

1 small box of sugar free lime jello

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix the Cool whip, cottage cheese, pineapple (not drained), walnuts together in a large bowl-sprinkle the jello powder over the top and mix all well. Pour into the dish you will be serving in and refrigerate at least a few hours or overnight.

Hope they like pineapple-the jello salad can be made with other flavors of jello and other canned fruits if the liquid proportions are kept the same.

Answer 9

chocolate covered strawberries.  Still good for you and only a little bit of chocolate.

Answer 10

some sort of sorbet? it's nice and really low calorie.

Answer 11

Find a place that make low cal., low carb, but very yummy cakes or cupcakes or brownies.

Answer 19

Answer 20

Answer 21

A fruit tray. Maybe organize the fruit to say happy birthday. If the girl's a good friend, bring a full meal--a healthy one, of course, like (cooked) sushi or stir-fried green beans.

Or, if she was an ice cream fan before the diet, nonfat frozen yogurt or a fruit sorbet, with fresh fruit on top or on the side.
