Recipes

I am lucky to live in Los Angeles, which is full of delicious Mexican food.  One of my favorites is a Bionico, which is a fruit salad dish from Guadalajara.  Basically it is a fruit salad that has a delicious sweet “milk” sauce and granola.  I always thought it was likely a weight watchers friendly snack, until I learned that it was full of cream and high calorie condensed and evaporated milk.  However, since I love it so much, I decided to try and find a low point alternative, which resulted in this 2 point recipe.  It is also one of those recipes that takes 2 minutes to make but tastes delicious for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
