Fave healthy desserts?

Please share your favorite healthy desserts. Bonus points if it's got lots of protein.

Thank you.

I doubt this is really what you are looking for, but I enjoy it so I thought I would share. I like to make a "banana split" using a whole or half banana, sliced strawberries, a few chocolate chips or a tbsp of Nutkao (similar to Nutella), some whipped topping & a few nuts (optional). I don't use any ice cream - I know that is blasphemy to most, but I enjoy it anyway. Could also be made with plain Greek yogurt I suppose.

I don't have a recipe, but I wanted to say thank you for putting a question mark after the topic. How many damn front page topics are "Greatest recipe ever!" "So does anyone have a great recipe?".

Thanks

Do you have an ice cream maker? I make chocolate froyo using this recipe: http://almondmilk.net/almond-milk-ice-cream

I add a couple tablespoon of PB2 for an amazing peanut butter and chocolate flavor. I replace the sugar with monk fruit extract as I prefer it to stevia, but any sweetener works. Add a little PB2 drizzle on top and you have a decently healthy dessert.

Maybe not "really" a desert, but it's so good. Double cream plain yoghurt with dried cranberries, sometimes i add some chopped nuts.

Simple Broiled Grapefruit.

Directions.

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Place grapefruit halves, cut sides up, onto a baking sheet; sprinkle each with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Broil the grapefruit until the brown sugar has melted and begun to bubble, 3 to 8 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before eating warm.

My staples are lite jelly (Aeroplane Jelly, port wine flavour is the only kind I like) with a tablespoon or two of low fat Greek yoghurt with a couple of sliced strawberries. I'm not sure if Farmer's Union Greek yoghurt is sold outside Australia, but it's by far the nicest greek yogurt I've tasted, I haven't liked the taste or texture of the US brands I've tried. I also like the weight watchers low calorie chocolate mousse with sliced strawberries.

one cup raw strawberries, one cup of nonfat greek vanilla yogurt, one tablespoon of cinnamon (mix the yogurt and cinnamon first, then dump in the raw strawberries.

My latest is vanilla Greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop protein powder, PB2, and ground flax seed (sometimes I add a TBS of real natural peanut butter). Very rich and delish!!

Kim's Pops (like giant rice cakes only made with corn and much more tasty) with almond butter and 1/2 banana. Can also put a little honey to make it sweeter and in a pinch we did it with apples which was yummy too. It's my go to dessert.

I am currently obsessed with plain yoghurt with a tablespoon of maple syrup. Some frozen red currants are optional, but makes the whole affair more icy

100g Frozen banana, 30g chocolate whey protein powder, 15-20g chocolate drink powder stuff ( I like Ovaltine cold crunch) and blend in the blender to make 'ice cream'. It's pretty yummy!

Also these are yum. Can use Greek yogurt to up the protein count.

I wanted to come back and add this recipe for Low Fat Zucchini Banana Brownies. My husband and I have made it many times over the past couple of years, and it's really moist and good. It bakes up more like a cake than traditional brownies. We usually add a few unsalted peanuts and they make it even better.

Last night I made 1/2 recipe in a 9X9 pan and it turned out terrific. Depending on how you portion them, they are between 124-250 calories each. The 250 calorie one would be 1/6 of a 9X9 with peanuts in it ;-)

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie (made with almond milk). It satisfies my sweet cravings so I don't give in to the temptation of less than healthy things.

This sounds divine and I'm stealing it. Thank you!!

I like the Fiber One Brownies for dessert but I will definitely have to try this Zucchini Banana Brownie recipe.
