The fact of the matter is DIET in and of itself is not a scary word. We are ALL on a DIET. Some are on the SEE-food diet, like I used to be. They see it – they eat it. Some never worry about it, and others just don’t care. Yet the fact remains that our DIET is basically what we put into our mouths and bodies, and like Dr. Gagne, my old Computer Programming professor, used to say, “Garbage in equals garbage out.”
This dessert treat is a Berried Treasure. It’s decadent looking but doesn’t over indulge the calorie meter. It’s quick and easy to make as well. It’s from Jill Bonanno, in Taste of Home’s Healthy Cooking Recipe Cards (Feb. 2009)
Ingredients-
1 package (.3oz) sugar-free strawberry
Jello
1/3 cup reduced-calorie cranberry juice
1 carton (6oz) fat-free raspberry yogurt
3 cups fresh strawberries, (washed, capped
and rough chopped)
1 reduced-fat graham cracker pie crust (8 inches)
Fat-free whipped topping and fresh berries
(optional)
Directions-
First, in a small micro-safe bowl, sprinkle
the jello over the cranberry juice. Let
stand for a minute, then microwave for 40 seconds. Stir and allow to stand for one minute to
completely dissolve the gelatin.
Then, in a blender, combine the jello mixture, yogurt, and strawberries. Cover and blend smooth.
Pour into the pie shell and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
Serve with whipped topping and berries, if desired.
The yield is eight slices at 146 calories
per slice (excludes optional toppings).
ENJOY!!

Love the color of that pie. And it doesn't require baking - that's the best thing!
I think this looks absolutely decadently delicious. I'd never think that it's lower in fat and calories. I'll bet I could even get it past Dudette without her turning her pert little nose up at it!
My 7yr old little lady had a second slice tonight...
Oh, and so did her mother!
Well..yeah I guess we all are really on a diet in one way or another.. This pie looks beautiful, the color is really lovely too :)
It's sad that I'm reading this in the morning, before having my fiber cereal and 1/2 of a banana breakfast and now I just don't want it. I would rather have a slice of that pie, right now. That looks absolutely delicious Richard.
