Hi Friends!
I love desserts! There I said it. I love sweets. Now that we have that out there, I am always looking for healthier recipes to make a sweet treat. As a nutritionist, I strongly believe you shouldn’t restrict any food group, but some food groups should be eaten less than others. Sweets are one of the food groups most nutrition experts suggest to eat conservatively.
I created an easy sweet treat that the whole family can enjoy both preparing and eating. Meet my strawberry shortcake made via a coffee mug. The best part of this recipe is that it can be made one serving at a time in only a few minutes. OH WAIT.. the better news is that one serving of the strawberry shortcake is less than 150 calories!!

Here is a picture of the finished product. Now if you are wondering how to make this delicious sweet treat keep reading. It only takes several simple ingredients and a few minutes to create this deliciousness.

I had to include a picture from the original post. I believe an outdated digital camera was used! Wowzas!
Your Family’s Dietitian,
