Skinny Recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Berries are at their peak freshness in the spring and this recipe takes advantage of all those juicy, sweet strawberries pouring into grocery stores. With each serving coming in at only 190 calories you can afford to add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of frozen yogurt. Makes 9 servings.
