When I first tried this, I cut the recipe in half, but still found it a bit too thick for my taste and I think the calorie amount is way too high, so I then made these alterations: I used 1/4 the cottage cheese and substituted half the yogurt with ice water and substituted 1/2 the raisins with 1 1/2 packets of splenda. This made it thinner with less calories and still sweet enough to enjoy and filling enough that it didn't make me want to go on a binge.
