low calorie fall treats anyone?

rockstar2b66

Anyone have any good ideas for fall time desserts semi low in calories? Thanksgiving is coming up and I don't want to give up dessert completely so I was thinking of making my own that was a little better than the general recipes or store bought desserts. Also ideas for low-cal thanksgiving dinners?

Meringue nests with greek yogurt and fruit - always the diet dessert in our house! Meringue nest is only 55cal!

I highly recommend skinnytaste.com. There are literally hundreds of recipes including the nutritional value for them. One of my fav sites.

I made good pumpkin cookies-100 cal each and they taste nummy. Pumpkin cream cheese muffins aren't bad on calories either and they're great for breakfast.

turkey is incredibly low-cal, and is tough to beat as far as the protein:calories ratio goes. nomnomnomnomnom
also, mashed potatoes are filled with energizing carbs and are super delicious!
crescent rolls are......we'll theyre just tasty, and a great vehicle for leftover smudges of gravy and sweet pertaters.

dont ruin the holidays....enjoy them!

make peace with the fact that you'll go over that day....and make up for it in the days leading up to and/or following.

hit the gym, eat all the foodz, and hit the gym some more....then have a turkey sandwich and a nap.

Caramel apples with chocolate drizzle, since it's fruit it's good sugar

Spice Cookies: Mix DRY spice cake mix with 1 regular size can of pumpkin and drop as cookies onto a cookie sheet. Delish....

Mix 1 regular size can of pumpkin and 1 container of sugar free Cool Whip. Mix and freeze for about 15-30 minutes until it gets chilled. Refrigerate leftover servings. If craving chocolate, ok to add a few chocolate chips in.

I make apple spice cake and use equal parts applesauce instead of the oil it calls for. It makes the cake moister and denser, and takes out a lot of fat and calories.

Uh huh. This.

That said, something I make for breakfast that could be good for a dessert is I mix equal parts vanilla greek yogurt, canned pumpkin, crushed pecans, a dash of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.
