Weight Watchers-Friendly Blueberry Lemon Trifle
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh blueberries, divided
(Blueberries are 0 points on most Weight Watchers plans.)
1 can (15-3/4 ounces) sugar-free lemon pie filling
(Using sugar-free lemon pie filling reduces points. Check the specific brand for exact points; many are around 2 points per 1/4 cup.)
2 cups non-fat lemon Greek yogurt
(Non-fat Greek yogurt is often 0 points on Weight Watchers, especially if it’s plain and unsweetened. You can add lemon zest or a few drops of lemon extract for flavor.)
1 prepared sugar-free angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
(Sugar-free angel food cake is typically low in points, around 2-3 points per slice. Use 4 slices for this recipe.)
1 carton (8 ounces) fat-free whipped topping, thawed
(Fat-free whipped topping is generally 1 point per 2 tablespoons, so the entire 8-ounce carton is around 12 points.)
Optional garnishes: Lemon slices and fresh mint leaves (0 points)
Directions:
Set aside 1/4 cup of blueberries for garnish.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar-free lemon pie filling and non-fat lemon Greek yogurt until well combined.
In a 3-1/2-quart trifle bowl, layer one-third of the cake cubes, topped with a third of the lemon-yogurt mixture, and a layer of blueberries. Repeat the layers twice more.
Top with the fat-free whipped topping and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, garnish with the reserved blueberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves, if using.
