Scale
(Serves 8)
Fruit base:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 medium bananas, sliced (you love banana desserts!)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (to prevent browning—you love citrus!)
Fluff mixture:
- 1 (8 oz) tub sugar-free whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip Free or homemade—you love blood sugar friendly!)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (high-protein—you love this!)
- 2 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional add-ins:
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (use sugar-free—you love marshmallow combos!)
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or almonds (you love nuts!)
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently toss strawberries and banana slices with lemon juice.
In another bowl, fold together whipped topping, Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese), sweetener (if using), and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold fruit into fluff mixture. Stir in optional marshmallows or nuts if using.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours). Serve chilled.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
✅ Add bananas last—minimizes browning and mushiness.
✅ Use full-fat Greek yogurt—adds creaminess and protein without thinning.
✅ Blood sugar friendly (you love this!):
→ Sugar-free whipped topping + monk fruit = zero glycemic impact
→ Net carbs: 8g per serving
✅ Low-carb/keto option (you love this!):
→ Reduce banana to ½; double strawberries
→ Skip marshmallows; use crushed nuts only
→ Net carbs drop to 5g/serving
✅ Make ahead:
→ Best within 4 hours (bananas soften over time)
→ Prep fluff base 1 day ahead; fold in fruit just before serving
→ Best served within 4 hours | Not ideal for leftovers
→ Serving ideas:
→ In parfait glasses for brunch
→ As a light dessert after grilled meals
→ For Easter or spring gatherings
