Weight Watchers Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Happy Canada Day! What better way to kick of July than to celebrate our nation, the sunshine, the last day of school (yesterday), and that strawberry season is in full force! Each year at the end of the school year, our family goes on a camping trip where we celebrate the season with a Strawberry Shortcake social.

I loooove fresh strawberries and crave shortcake all year long. To keep myself from over indulging (because I could eat this every meal while berries are in season), I’ve come up with a this easy Weight Watchers Strawberry Shortcake Recipe. Typically most light dessert recipes include Angel Food Cake, but I find the strawberry juice makes it too soggy. This tea biscuit recipe is the perfect density for the juicy berries and to take on the road camping, they stay fresh for a few days and the berries can be sliced and mixed just before serving.

When hosting a strawberry shortcake social from a campground picnic table usually means there isn’t a lot of fuss when it comes to decorations and serving-ware. Paper bowls and plastic spoons generally come into play, but keeping with the Canada Day red and white theme I picked up these Red RENOVA paper towels . I love using paper towels for picnicking rather thank napkins. An attractive roll is much easier to manage than napkins that fly away with the slightest breeze, could the vibrant red be any more perfect for this holiday?
