Strawberry Pie with Health One Meal Replacement

Oh how I love fresh strawberries. They bring back such special memories of staying with my grandparents on their farm. Getting up at 5 a.m. to hit the strawberry fields. Racing my sisters and cousins to see who would fill their flat first. Coming home tired, hands stained red, tummies full of yummy strawberries and some money jingling in our pocket...ready to be spent on Saturday.

As an adult, my favorite strawberry treat has been Strawberry Pie. You know the kind...buttery crust, glazed strawberries and lots of whipped cream. White sugar, whipped cream...talk about a caloric and nutritional disaster!

Here is another option: Strawberry Pie with Health One Meal Replacement. Yes it has 60 additive calories - 75 if you add the fat-free whipped topping...so it's definitely an occasional "special" treat. A special treat that is nutrient packed and tastes amazing!
