Dorm room dessert?

EllaPaigeNora

Hi! So I'm a college student living in the dorms and I would love some ideas for small, low cal dessert treats? Normally after dinner I ALWAYS eat an orange and either a piece of dark chocolate, a fiber one 90 calorie chocolate bar, or two caramel candies or sometimes I'll heat up an apple with some chai tea. I know I need a small treat at the end of the day to stick with things because I have a huge sweet tooth, but I'm kinda getting bored with my usual. Anyone have any ideas of foods I can stock in the dorm for any easy, low cal, sweet tooth satisfying dessert?

I always keep some fun-sized candy bars and saltwater taffies in my dessert cupboard. Seems to help.

Not sure of your definition of "easy," but a lot of these can be cleaned up healthwise

Pudding doesn't do too much damage.

3-2-1 cakes!
Mix one box of angel food cake with one box one any flavor cake mix (chocolate strawberry, whatever- but ONE BOX HAS TO BE ANGEL FOOD CAKE).
Get 3 tablespoons of the cake, add two tablespoons of water, mix it, 1 minute in the microwave. Makes a small little single-serving cupcake-sized cake.
It's about 100 calories, so not exactly low-calorie, but still delicious. And if you do chocolate cake, you can add a Dove square to the top of the cake. As it cooks, the square sinks to the middle, and it gets molten and gooey inside.

Pineapple Pudding: 1 Vanilla Flavoured Low Fat Sugar Free Pudding Mix
19 ounce tin crushed pineapples
1 cup plain yogurt

Mix together. Makes 4 servings...I find it sweet, satisfying and healthy > fruit and yogurt.

Bon appetite!

Get some almond milk and/or coconut milk
Buy some chia seeds (not cheap but they'll last a while).
Poor a cup or so of liquid. Add a tablespoon of chia.
Stir.
Let it sit about 10-15 minutes and it turns into a jelly like sweet treat. You can use any kind of liquid, those are just my favorites!

I get the mini pots of chocolate, banana or strawberry custard. They don't need refrigerating, but I stick mine in the freezer and they come out like ice cream.
Plenty of places do various one pot desserts. You could get some pots of instant oatmeal if you have a kettle there, and add in some mashed banana or berries.
Peanut butter on a banana or apple is another idea.
Rice cakes with mashed banana or low sugar jam or a nut butter is another idea.
You can get some sweet and salty popcorn, there are some reasonably healthy ready popped ones in individual bags.
Raw fruit bars or seed bars (we have one here called 9 bar. It is seeds and honey).
A handful of nuts and some dark chocolate chips.
A healthy granola can be snacked on too, just put a serving in a bowl.

I make a "fake cinnabon" that tastes amazing. I use Joseph's Bakery lavash, 2tbsp So Delicious coconut creamer, Torani sugar free vanilla syrup, cinnamon and splenda and it ends up being 120 calories, 10g net carbs, 10g protein, and 4g fat. I just mix and microwave everything but the bread for like 30 seconds, pour it over the bread, then microwave for another 45 seconds.

This, most dorms have a floor microwave, at least my daughters did. Put it all in a gallon zip lock bag and cook in your favorite coffee cup.

This may be far fetched for you but I have gotten in the habit of eating sweet potato microwaved or baked with cinnamon and whipped cream. It's sweet and super filling. I am so full with that that the thought of food makes me sick! Sweet potatoes are also a great complex carb with low calories. I like the yams better the ones that are orangish are more sweet.

Snack Pack pudding--don't need refrigeration, usually 100-120 calories per cup, with 30% of your daily calcium.

TastyKakes--vary by type, but the one I get tend to be 90-145 calories each. Yes, they come in packs of two--split them with your roommate, or put the second in a zip lock bag and have it tomorrow.

Honey greek yogurt is my go to for a quick sweet fix before bed. A couple bites usually satisfy me and of course it's super good for you anyway.

I get the sugar free snack pack puddings. 60-70 calories per cup. The caramel is amazing. Sugar free jello is also good if you have a dorm refrigerator.

Also, if you have access to a microwave, try steaming unpeeled apple slices with a little cinnamon and raisins/Craisins in a ziplick bag. It tastes a lot like apple pie.

2 simple ingredients that curb my sweet tooth:

Chocolate chips
Peanut butter

(take a scoop of peanut butter, sprinkle on choc chips.) I prefer the mini chocolate chips.

MMMMM...You don't need much, and it satisfies the craving....
