Weight Watchers Points:

  • Approximately 3 SmartPoints per serving (depending on specific brands and portion sizes used)

Ingredients:

  • 1 (32 oz.) container non-fat plain Greek yogurt (0 SmartPoints)
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, diced (0 SmartPoints)
  • 1 (1 oz.) package Jell-O sugar-free vanilla or butterscotch pudding mix (2 SmartPoints)
  • 1 (11 oz.) carton Caramel Premier Protein Shake (2 SmartPoints)
  • 1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained (0 SmartPoints)
  • 3 Fun Size Snickers bars or 2 Peanut Butter Built Bars, chopped (12 SmartPoints for Snickers, or 6 SmartPoints for Built Bars)
  • 2 Tbsp Smucker’s Sugar-Free Caramel Sundae Sauce (1 SmartPoint)
  • Fat-free Reddi Whip (optional topping) (0 SmartPoints for a small amount)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free pudding mix and Caramel Premier Protein Shake. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
    • Add the non-fat plain Greek yogurt to the pudding mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Prepare the Pineapple and Apples:
    • Drain the juice from the can of crushed pineapple, ensuring the pineapple remains at 0 points. You can press the pineapple through a fine sieve to remove as much juice as possible.
    • Gradually fold the diced Granny Smith apples and drained crushed pineapple into the yogurt mixture.
  3. Chill and Serve:
    • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately if desired.
    • Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars (or chopped Peanut Butter Built Bars) over the top of the salad.
    • Drizzle 1 tsp of sugar-free caramel sauce over each serving.
    • Optionally, top with a small dollop of fat-free Reddi Whip.

Tips:

  • Snickers vs. Built Bars: For a lower point version, use Peanut Butter Built Bars instead of Snickers. They still add a satisfying chocolatey-peanut flavor with fewer points.
  • Chill Time: Letting the salad chill for at least an hour enhances the flavor and texture, making it even more refreshing.
  • Portion Control: This recipe makes 8 servings, which helps in controlling portion sizes and sticking to your points.

Benefits:

  • High Protein: The Caramel Premier Protein Shake and Greek yogurt make this a high-protein dessert, helping to keep you full and satisfied.
  • Guilt-Free Indulgence: With sugar-free ingredients and light toppings, this salad offers a sweet treat without high points, making it a great option for satisfying your sweet tooth.
  • Versatile: This recipe can easily be adjusted based on available ingredients or dietary preferences, such as using different protein shake flavors or swapping out the toppings.
