"Treat" foods that are actually healthy?

I'm eating mine right now..a whole wheat pita with hummus, chicken and veggies! (Aka, a healthy falafel.) 400 cals for the entire lunch.

Maybe some day I'll see carrot sticks as a delicacy....until then, god bless the chick pea!

Anyone else have a food like this that tricks your brain?

I recently found one on bodyrock.tv... she freezes bananas, then puts them in a blender with some peanut butter, a little milk and protein powder... it tastes just like peanut butter ice cream, SO good. You can sprinkle some cinnamon on it before you eat it, and I add the powder only if it's after a workout.

Chobani vanilla greek yogurt with 1T of peanut butter. I love it so much!
Or peach, strawberry, or blueberry greek yogurt with pecans or walnuts

I do this too--freeze bananas with greek yogurt and sometimes 1TB of peanut butter. Delicious!

Haha, go hummus!

Wow, those yogurt concoctions sound heavenly. I know what I'll be doing next time I crave Haagen Dazs.

Try the vanilla yogurt with sliced strawberries...it's better than ice cream!

I survive on hummus, but this definitely isn't a falafel.

It tastes like peanut butter ice cream to me... the bananas aren't overwhelming. Try sprinkling a little more cinnamon!

I love Pink n Whites which is effectively a marshmallow in between two wafers. At 50 calories you couldn't get vexed.

I make some protein bars from scratch that pretty much taste like brownies, minus the fat, sugar and calories! They feel like a chocolate indulgence!

That's what the restaurant lists it as...strange.

that doesn't sound like treat food to me.... I'm thinkin more along the lines of some dark chocolate covered raisins lol

Apricots are as good as any candy treat, in my opinion.

I've been making protein "milkshakes" - they satisfy any sweets/ice cream cravings, and a huge one is under 300 calories with 33g of protein.

I love the Smart Ones deserts or Greek Yogurt.

What is your recipe? I have been experimenting with making my own protein bars, but none of them have come out very well.
My healthy treat right now is fresh strawberries. I can't get enough!
