What is your typical dessert?

I have to have dessert everyday. I would lose the food battle if I didn't have something sweet after dinner. Usually I have a mini ice cream cone from Trader Joe's for 80 calories or a rice krispie bar. What do you have for dessert? I feel the need to branch out and get some good ideas for sweets so I don't become a one trick pony. What do you have?

If you're capable of resisting sweets, good for you, but I look forward to my ice cream every night.

    When I started my Journey I cut out all the bad sweets and foods that I loved and craved for far too long. I now enjoy Sugar Free Jello or Pudding topped with lite whip cream. Its sweet and satisfying!

    I have to have dessert everyday.

    You mean I WANT to have dessert everyday. No problem if it fits in your budget but you don't HAVE to have dessert.

    I eat a relatively late dinner so I try to avoid the sweet craves, but when I just gotta have something I adore these frozen banana slices from Trader Joes. They're called "gone bananas", covered in chocolate, and you can take out just a piece or two at a time so it's low investment macro-wise.

    I usually have a serving of one of these most nights:

    Trader Joes - Sea Salt & Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds (perfect combination of sweet and salty)
    Trader Joes - Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries (not the liquid filled kind, they are dried bing cherries covered in dark chocolate)

    Or, if I need more protein at the end of the day:

    Low-fat cottage cheese with splenda and cinnamon (tastes similar to rice pudding).

    Watermelon when it's in season, an organic fruit popsicle, or frozen yogurt if I'm really craving it.

    Rainbow sherbet or, if I can get away with it....Dairy Queen vanilla dipped cone.

    I also have one small piece (one square) of dark chocolate every night as I turn out the lights in bed, lol. The box / bar is in my bedside table. :)

    I eat ice cream still, or cookies, or cake. When my calories allow. Every night though I have a cup of Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder. lately I have been using chocolate flavor pp so it is like pudding. I add fruit sometimes, or even marshmallows or chocolate chips. yum!

    Ice cream or a couple squares of dark chocolate. Not everyday, though, usually just a few nights a week.

    Planters Energy Mix Peanut Butter. Right now my favorite is the Berry Nut. 2 tablespoons is only 180 calories and I try to eat it with my daily apple...but sometimes I just eat it by itself. SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

    i still eat candy (I love Dove's dark chocolate sea salt caramel promises) 1 square is 40 calories! I also have an awful sweet tooth so I have a piece of cake every now and again (2-3x a month). But mostly dark chocolate satisfies my sweet tooth. I also make killer smoothies with strawberries, bananas, spinach, avacado, 1 tbs of PB, and a splash of fat free milk. It's about 320 calories, loaded with viatmins, and tastes AMAZING!!!!

    Greek Yoghurt with some dark chocolate melted in to it with honey and dried/fresh fruit. Started having this most days. I avoid most processed food but feel if I allow myself a bit of dark chocolate every day it cuts the cravings.

    Greek yogurt with fruit, dark chocolate, or an ice cream sandwich. Sometimes bourbon counts as dessert.

    I bake a lot of homemade goods, so usually I'll have a portion of whatever I baked that day. Usually cookies or cheesecake. Today I baked oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies. If I don't bake, I have ice cream or gelato.

    If I don't have enough calories saved I'll have a sugar free dark chocolate mousse cup, crumble up a mini heath bar, mix it up and top it with sugar free whipped topping.

    I get cranky if I don't have something sweet.
