coconutcreampieCoconut Cream Pie Without Guilt8 oz container of fat-free light coconut creme pie yogurt1 tablespoon light whipped creamTop yogurt with whipped cream; enjoy!I found a whole selection of fat-free light (sweetened with aspartame and fructose) yogurts in the grocery store with a creme pie theme: Lemon Chiffon, Key Lime, Coconut Creme and Banana Creme. They do satisfy a sweet tooth! And they can be counted as a fat-free, good-calcium serving of dairy.The best part is that they are not that high in calories:Serving size - 8 ouncesCalories - 130Fat - 0gCholesterol - <5mgSodium - 160 mgPotassium - 460 mgCarbohydrate - 23 gFiber - 0 gSugars - 16 gProtein - 10 gA cup of frozen yogurt would be double the calories (and who only eats a half cup of THAT?). And a real coconut cream pie would be much more - like 480 calories and 31 g fat per slice!!

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
