    1) Smushed bananas for pancakes
    2) Smushed kidney beans for brownies
    3) Smushed cauliflower for potatoes

    Greek yogurt for nearly everything! Frozen is delicious..
    Pumpkin in baked goods (same as applesauce)..or mixed in yogurt to add volume.
    Peanut flour..taste of PB without the dense calories. I love it in yogurt, with a banana or in a protein shake.

    While I try to stick to whole foods, some guilty foods I'm caught having are Arctic Zero low calorie 'ice cream', shiritaki noodles and Braggs Amino soy sauce spray with no calories:wink:
