* 1/2 dry pint of fresh raspberries


* 1/2 dry pint of fresh blueberries


* 1 tbsp honey

My recipe is similar to krazykritik's:





Dawn's Trifle





1 storebought Angel Food cake (torn into chunks)


1 pkg. diet Jell-O (any flavor)


prepared with 1 cup hot water, 1 cup cold water


1 pkg. diet Jell-O pudding prepared with skim milk (vanilla or white chocolate works well)


Fruit of your choice (something to match or compliment the Jell-O flavor you have chosen)


1 container low-fat Cool Whip topping





Tear cake into chunks and put in bottom of large bowl. Drizzle with all of the gelatin mixture and slightly press with back of spoon to make the cake absorb all of the gelatin. Top with sliced fruit or berries (like mixed fruits). Cover fruit with prepared pudding and top with low-fat Cool Whip topping. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
Cut an Angel Food Cake through the centre and cover the bottom half with a generous amount of low fat desert whip.


Cut fresh strawberries and put some on the topping all around the cake.


Put the other half on top and repeat process.


YUMMEEE!!





Use pineapple, bananas, blueberries or any other favourite fruit with/or instead of, the strawberries.





All these items are low fat and fruit of course is very healthy.

Are you asking ';low cal?'; Or truly ';healthy??'; Low cal, you can find recipes anywhere. And while they are lower calories than regular desserts, they are not really all that healthy for you, they just contain a lower fat content. If you want healthy, I would say, do a fresh fruit and yogurt parfait. You can cut up a variety of your favorite fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces, such as cantelope, strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. Starting with a layer of fruit, add a layer of your favorite flavor of lowfat yogurt and then a thin layer of granola. Keep layering until the glass is full, with the final layer of yogurt on top, sprinkled with granola. Or skip the yogurt and just go with the fresh fruit. Another thing that is not technically healthy, but will save a lot of calories is to serve a half of cantelope with a couple scoops of vanilla ice-milk in the center. It is SO GOOD and totally refreshing. (While ice milk is healthier than ice cream, it is not technically 'health food!') Hope this helps!!
