In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt with powdered sugar substitute and almond extract until smooth and creamy. Chill until ready to serve. - Assemble the Punch:

WW Points Estimate (per serving, approx. 6 servings):
- Punch base: 0-1 point (mostly 0 if no added sugars)
- Creamy layer (using nonfat Greek yogurt): ~1-2 points
- Garnishes: 0 points
Total per serving: ~1-3 points
Tips for WW
