Low Cal Desserts

PB2, powdered peanut butter, at 45 calories for 2 tablespoons-on 35 calorie bread or Graham crackers. I love the chocolate PB2.

Fudgsicle popsicles! The original, no sugar added ones! Only 40 cals per bar and soo good when you want icecream and chocolate.

Do a search here for the chocolate tofu pudding someone posted here a few days ago. It is absolutely DELICIOUS. I had some again last night and just cannot believe how rich and creamy and satisfying it is.

I do Diet Pop Cupcakes. Instead of the egg and oil it's diet pop. Lower cal but still yummy

I second the Fiber One Chocolate brownies. I also like Skinny Cow candy bars when I'm in the mood for a candy bar - but I buy them individually so I don't go out of control.

Also - check in to some vegan dessert recipes. Some will replace eggs and oil with things like flax seeds and applesauce.

Dreyer's Slow Churned Ice Cream. I got some mint 'n chip today; it's 120 calories for 1/2 cup and tastes delicious!

It's 168 Calories for the large serving!

cool whip chocolate frosting (2 Tbsp is 60cals) and dip strawberries in it

I put 1 cup milk, 10 ice cubes, and either 1/2 cup raspberries or blue berries or mango or spinach and vanilla, or an orange into the blender. I have learned you can through just about anything in the blender with 1 cup milk and 10 ice cubes and get a creamy, sweet, filling smoothie out. Also - seedless green grapes - put in freezer. They are an amazing low cal treat.

Try any combo - even if it doesn't turn out excellent, the mistakes are still pretty darn good.

I've found that smoothies are a great way to satisfy my ice cream cravings, especially made with frozen strawberries. Not always low cal, but nutritious and Makes a great late afternoon snack.

I know it may sound crazy to some (it used to sound crazy to me), but a 1/2 cup serving of ice cream really isn't that small. It's enough to enjoy the ice cream. The good stuff.

This is exactly what I did today. 1/2 cup of Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate ice cream. 160 calories. Quite the perfect chocolate fix; more would've been too much. That's saying a lot coming from me; I used to love eating easily four to six times that amount in one sitting. When I craved it, sometimes an entire quart at a time. Now I eat it slowly; it helps keep me from binging.

Serves 6 at about 150 calories each:
1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
1 tablespoon balsamic or white wine vinegar
2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 sprig of thyme
4 pluots (or mix it up with pears, nectarines, mango, whatever fruit you like)
3 cups of frozen Greek yogurt -- I use Fage and I put it in the freezer about 10 minutes before I start making the desert; you can substitute with ice cream, but I prefer the yogurt flavor as the fruit and honey is obviously very sweet and with ice cream, it's too sweet for my liking.

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat, once it's simmering, turn off the heat and remove the thyme sprig. Slice up the pluots and brush honey on cut sides. You can either grill or warm the fruit in a pan (I prefer grilled) until warmed through. Arrange slices on the yogurt and drizzle the honey over it.

the hell is a pluot

I have no idea either, but the way you phrased this made me burst out laughing

i'd stay away from sugar free or low sugar processed ice creams/frozen yogurts. gross.

freeze a banana in pieces and blend into an "ice cream texture.' same cals as frozen yogurt at 90 cals but chances are the ingredient list may have some weird things. add in dark chocolate or carab chips, nuts, or whatever you put on ice cream

mash 2 ripe bananas and 1c quick oats together. if you want add similar things like walnuts chocolate chips etc. bake 10 mins and yey cookies

demonlullaby

if you like ice cream.. i've been eating "so delicious neapolitan bars".. they're 90 calories, tiny, and veryyy filling!

ps: they're dairy free! but taste like ice cream!

I try to only buy single-serve items for sweet treats because I have a problem with portion control. (Not as much as I used to, but it's better to make smarter choices )

Single serve yoghurts - I eat the kid ones that come in the squirty things, and they're under 100 calories.

Mini protein bars - I eat the Lo-Carb ones and they're 100 calories mostly.

Sorbet is really good too

I love banana ice cream and the skinny cow stuff. Here are some other ideas too.

Chocolate rice cakes mini add cool whip free between and freeze. Makes little mini ice cream sandwiches and 8 chocolate rice cakes is 60 cals so depending on cool whip amt you use could have 4 sandwiches for 100 calories.

Protein frosting. Add two scoops (34 g) whey protein to only tiny amount water and mix to frosting consistency. I eat it right out of the bowl for 20g protein and only 110 cals....but you can add on fruit. Or I did 1 scoop for 55 cals and did on top of Apple Crumb VitaTop...DELICIOUS!


Also I love Arctic Zero and know people call it diet crap but when you can't eat soy, dairy-based ice creams, or cooconut...you are a little limited. Plus a whole pint 150 calories...heck yes!

Also you can get little individual pie crusts and fill with yogurt and freeze (key lime yogurt the best)...it's like a little key lime pie.

I also love pretzel m&ms. Stats really aren't that bad for them. 150 cals and only 5g fat for whole bag.

hope this helps!


also - it's a good idea to eat a combo of carbs and protein for a late night snack.
and also watch your calorie intake.
