Healthified Strawberry Shortcake Squares

Healthified Strawberry Shortcake Squares
Recipe Tip
What is "Healthified"?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
Purchasing
Choose the brightest, firmest, freshest strawberries that you can find. Strawberries are available all year long but are in season from April through June.
Substitution
We've called for frozen whipped topping, but you could use fat-free whipped cream topping in an aerosol can instead. Look for it in the dairy section of the grocery store.

it is "healthier"
Its only Considered Healthified because if you look at the original recipe it is healthier then that.

Strawberry dissapointment
This recipe was way too dry, I always try to make things that don't taste like I am depriving my guests. I regreted aking this for my inlaws when they all went for a drink immediately.

Healthy?
How can a recipe that has 42 grams of carbs per serving and only 1 gram of fiber be healthy? It has 24 grams of sugar. Most of the trigicerides come from your body turning excess sugar into fat.

Strawberry Shortcake
this was a the best ever! Very moist! Even finicky family loved just the cake part! Now a family favorite, Just make sure not to over bake then it will be a bit dry but still good!
