This is SUPER easy to make. I typically use 1/4 cup on top of some fat free yogurt, but I've eaten some for breakfast, as a snack, etc. My kids LOVE it. I have to monitor them or they'll eat it all in one shot. Feel free to substitute fat free, low fat, or reduced fat ingredients where ever you can. I made this recipe with all regular stuff since it's what I have on hand, so it can only get better if you substitute. :)
