    Apple with honey and dessicated coconut
    Chocolate brownies made with avocado and wholemeal flour
    Home popped popcorn topped with various goodies. It's amazing with almond butter.
    Microwave mug cake (can add chocolate, cocoa, other flavourings etc)

    I found a recipe on pinterest for peanut butter cookies with 4 ingredients for only 93 cals each so I want to give them a go (1 cup ground almonds, 180g medjool dates, half cup peanut butter, 1.5 tsp vanilla extract making 20 cookies)

    Someone gave me this one the other day, I cant have it as I'm in ketosis but it sounded yummy and easy. A cup of Ricotta beaten until fluffy, add berries of choice. Personally I would choose good sauce berries, for example : 1 cup of fresh sliced strawberries and 1 tsp of sugar, toss the berries in the sugar and mix well, let em sit for about 5 minutes, the sugar will pull moisture from the berries giving you what tastes like a decadent topping.

    I made a chocolate peanut butter shake yesterday that was amazing.

    - 1/2 cup fat free half and half
    - 1/2 cup ice
    - 1 tablespoon Hershey's Extra Dark cocoa powder
    - 2 tablespoons PB2
    - 1/2 teaspoon liquid stevia or monk fruit extract, or mix the two (my favorite)

    I start by getting the ice really ground up, like shave ice. Then I add the rest of the ingredients and continue blending. Mixing monk fruit and stevia gives optimal sweetness without the bitter aftertaste from the stevia. This shake is REALLY good, like the real thing good, and it's only 130 calories per 8-9 ounce serving.

    Protein fluff - basically just protein powder, frozen fruit and milk (of your choice) whipped up to a huge fluffy mousse.

    Check out protein pow if you're into baking

    nothing beats a raunchy chocolate cake or caramel drizzled fudge brownie when it comes to dessert, but i have a feeling those aren't the sort of things you're looking for, hehe.

    it terms of lower calorie alternatives, my recent infatuation is simple pear slices sprinkled with cinnamon. i know it doesn't sound like much but i'm obsessing over it lately. so tasty!

    I found this recipe on Pinterest and it's SO good! I need more of a chocolaty fix, so this always works for me.

    Blend together:

    1/2 cup of Vanilla Soy/Almond/regular milk
    2 tbsp. of unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 tbsp. Natural Peanut Butter (creamy, and I normally use only 1 tbsp. to keep calories lower)
    1 frozen/sliced banana
    1/4 cup of Greek yogurt

    Enjoy!
