Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

Choose the brightest, firmest, freshest strawberries that you can find. Strawberries are available all year long but are in season from April through June.

We've called for frozen whipped topping, but you could use fat-free whipped cream topping in an aerosol can instead. Look for it in the dairy section of the grocery store.

Its only Considered Healthified because if you look at the original recipe it is healthier then that.

This recipe was way too dry, I always try to make things that don't taste like I am depriving my guests. I regreted aking this for my inlaws when they all went for a drink immediately.

How can a recipe that has 42 grams of carbs per serving and only 1 gram of fiber be healthy? It has 24 grams of sugar. Most of the trigicerides come from your body turning excess sugar into fat.
