Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad

12 oz. lite cool whip topping, thawed
1 small pkg. dry sugar free cheesecake pudding mix
18 oz. strawberry yogurt
16 oz. fresh strawberries, sliced (frozen may also be used)
2-3 bananas, sliced
miniature marshmallows, optional*
crunchy granola, candied pecans, or chopped walnuts

Stir topping, yogurt, and dry pudding mix together in a large bowl. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour. Add fruit and marshmallows. Fold gently. Garnish with granola or nuts before serving. Yummy!
*Substitute torn angel food cake for marshmallows for diabetics. This makes it more of a dessert, too.
