justdonttellonme:
you can honestly ask any of my friends and they will tell you that i eat an unprecedented amount of ice cream (my favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip) so this is great way to cut back on some a LOT of those calories
Here’s what you’ll need:
- All natural, low fat vanilla yogurt
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Waffle ice cream cones
This is what you do:
- Wash, and slice strawberries
- Wash blueberries
- In waffle cone, add a spoon full of vanilla yogurt, then fruit, another spoonful of yogurt, and top it off with fruit. I wouldn’t recommend doing more then 2 layers. It gets kinda messy if you do… trust me ;)
- Put cones in the freezer, just until they’re chilled..right before they start to freeze (about an hour) **or you could just eat em’ up, and skip the freezer :)
Here’s What I’m Thinking:
- Calories: About 110 for one cone
other fun things to add: dark choc chips, almonds, raspberries, white choc chips, endless possibilities! (have fun with it)
