    Skinnytaste has some amazing recipes. Most recently I made her Mango chia pudding for Easter. Even our pickiest eaters loved it! It was sooooo good!!!!

    I JUST MAKE THE CAKE FROM Dr Oz: 5-Layer Dessert Recipe

    Greek Yogurt Cake Recipe

    Layer 1:

    - Dark chocolate cake mix
    - 1 cup of Greek yogurt - I USE FAT FREE
    - 1 cup of water

    Mix ingredients together until there are no lumps. Pour into a cake pan and bake at 350 degrees. The proteins in this layer will activate fat belly burning agents.

    Ice cream.

    You all can hate on it all you want but I've never heard a doctor bad mouth ice cream. Milk, sugar, cream, salt and whatever you want for flavors. Perfection in a bowl.

    As long as it's not the artificial garbage that's often sold as ice cream in supermarkets. Read the labels. If you can't pronounce it, or don't know what it is, pass.

    As far as baking goes, just do it when there are other people around to feed as well. That way, you won't be tempted to eat it all yourself.

    3-2-1 cake

    any flavor of cake mix ..... a box of angel food cake ......put the dry mixes in a ziplock baggy .....scoop out 3 tablespoons put in a bowl ...add 2 tablespoons of water mix and put in the microwave for 1 minutes ...instant personal cake .... add whip cream, fruit , chocolate chips or peanutbutter

    Awesome idea - I'm stealing it.:tongue:

    I sometimes put a tablespoon of hershey's syrup over a sliced banana and does the trick for me.

    It may not seem like a dessert but it's sweet. I usually use it as a side dish though. Oven-roasted carrots with honey and orange zest :D

    Peel a banana and put 1/2 a Tb of peanut butter, almond butter, or my favorite cashew butter and freeze it! I personal put a few mini chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter before I freeze it. I really love this after a workout when you need some extra potassium.

    Fruit.

    I also do sugar free jello with light cool whip.
    totally this! I usually have jello every night without cool whip but that's a personal preference. 40 cals for the whole packet

    "Healthy" includes emotional health and that includes chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

    You're welcome. :)

    Blended frozen banana. I was skeptical, but it really does have a creamy, ice cream-esque texture. Add PB, chocolate, or whatever to jazz it up, but it's even pretty good plain.

    Yup, I do this ^^^…and it's so good. I also use the food processor to make these no-bake cookies:

    It's not a recipe but I have been having apples with a bit of that Philly Chocolate Cream cheese on it. Cures my junk craving and it's not empty calories

    my personal faves....
    1. frozen banana (3 large) with 2tablespoons peanut butter and 1 tablespoon chocolate (usually powdered nesquick or similar) makes about 3-4 servings.
    2. frozen yogurt bars- blend frozen yogurt with fresh fruit, pour into popsicle mold or ice cube tray, freeze, enjoy! :-)
    3. pudding pops- sugar-free pudding (w/ skim milk), mixed with 1 cup whipped topping (low cal) frozen in popsicle molds
    4. fresh fruit with whipped topping (low cal)
    5. dry cereal- a lot of kids' varieties have some great flavor combinations (like the chocolate peanut butter) and are 100-120 calories for 3/4 cup
    6. rice cake- broken in to bite-size pieces and drizzled (lightly) with melted chocolate and peanut butter / chocolate and peppermint
    7. 15-20 chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or butterscotch chips (only 50-70 calories depending on brand!)- enough to really get the flavor in your mouth without packing on calories
    8. sugar-free Jell-o with fruit
    9. cinnamon-sugar apple- just slice, sprinkle, and enjoy!
    10. fruit pizza- roll out standard-size biscuits (+/- 50 cal each), cook, spread with whipped cream / low-fat cream cheese, add cut up fresh fruit.

    Food cannot be healthy, but it can be healthful. I think fruit makes a nice desert.

    Nothing wrong with chocolate anything. If it fits my goals, it's healthy enough for me!
