Barley and Fruit Pudding (Ww Core)

Description: Had some leftover barley and a sweet craving and this was the result. The taste is akin to a cold rice pudding and just as creamy and satifying. More a concept than a recipe, I don't imagine this will be of interest except to others doing the WW Core program. Feel free to improvise to suit your own tastes. Sweetness can also be adjusted to make this a suitable breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked barley (not hot)
• 1/2-1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 2 -4 teaspoons Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking or 2 -4 teaspoons Equal sugar substitute
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• cinnamon (optional to taste)
• 1/2 cup strawberry, halved or quartered
• 1/4 cup blueberries

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, sweetener and vanilla. Stir in the barley. Add additional yogurt if you want a creamier consistency. Adjust sweetner to taste as well.
2. Mix in the berries (or whatever you have on hand).
3. Divide into dessert bowls and serve.
