Okay, so I did end up trying Sweet Eats' yogurt mess, my own version however. These are my ingredients: blueberry non-fat Fage Greek yogurt, granola, strawberries and peanut butter.
The idea is great, but for Weight Watchers it's a bit higher in point count than I might normally prefer. However, since I slept in, this ended up being brunch for me. 10 points.
I think I prefer Sweet Eats' version with banana though. And where I went wrong on mine was the blueberry flavored yogurt. Plus this was the fat free version which I don't love. Unflavored 2% would be better, as the sweetened blueberry dominated the meal.
What was awesome however, and what made it a "hot mess" was the peanut butter. Though, I would normally go for a lower fat peanut butter, this was all I could get on short notice. I warmed 2 tbsp in the microwave and poured it on top at the end. YUM! Even better than normal, being a warm sauce.
If I decide to make this again, it'll have to be 2% plain yogurt, 1 tbsp perhaps instead of two of light peanut butter (less points), banana, and then either no cereal to cut the points or I might experiment with other options.
But it was a fun experiment, none-the-less! Below is my finished product...
Thanks for the inspiration Sweet Eats.
