put all this together and what do you get? my most favorite snack in the whole wide world. take some berries (raspberries & blackberries, too!) and drizzle them with sheer delish - fat free sweetened condensed milk. you will thank me for it.
i had this little taste of heaven while on a mission trip in brazil five years ago (fabiola, is this a brazilian favorite?). i've been obsessed with it ever since. blueberries and strawberries were on sale this week, so that meant i was going to have a blissful week of snacking. and that i've had. the best part is, it's only tuesday which means i still have days upon days of this snack still ahead of me.
is it healthy? yeah, i would say so. you don't have to use much of the sweetened condensed milk. it doesn't have any fat in it, as long as you buy fat free (obviously), but of course it has sugar. so, use it sparingly. unless, of course, you're pregnant and have a good excuse.
with this pregnancy i've been a bit snacky. lately, i get hungry quick. i need some snack ideas. i want to know your favorite snack. you get two bonus points if it's healthy.

Yummo!!! Condensed milk is definitely a Brasilian thing. We make Pudim de Leite Condensado, which is Brasilian Style Flan. We also make a desert called Brigadeiro. Melt some butter, then take condensed milk and cook it on Medium heat for about 5 minutes and then add 4 tablespoons of Nestle Quick (chocolate flavored). Mix together and stir until it starts to lift from the bottom of the pan. Let it cool then roll it into balls and cover with chocolate sprinkles.

This is my favorite!!! When I was pregnant I would eat about 2-3 cans of this a week. LOL!
I always like celery and peanut butter. Good source of protein, too! It will make you less hungry. Your snack sounds delicious.
Oh yes, this is such a Brazilian thing. Paulo is crazy about strawberries with condensed milk or with meringue. If it was up to him, he would eat it EVERYDAY!!!!!
Chocolate covered bananas!! I'm loving this frozen treat right now...we bought the frozen Diana's bananas with peanuts...yummo!
