Fat Free, Sugar Free Pink Sun DipI got this from someone on here. It's fat free and sugar free and good with fruit:


Pink Lemonade Dip Recipe
This dip always goes fast whenever I make it. It's fat free, very low in sugar, and delicious! It's intended for fruit, but people love it so much, they tend to dip everything else into it also!


4 ounces fat free cream cheese
1 teaspoon pink sugar-free lemonade-flavored drink mix
1½ cups fat-free Cool Whip

Beat the cream cheese and lemonade mix together until smooth and combined.
Beat in 1/2 cup of the Cool Whip to combine. Fold in the remaining 1 cup of Cool Whip. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with fruit slices! 12-15 servings.

Thanks to whoever shared it in the first place!
