Desserts!

What is your favorite low-calorie dessert? And I don't mean a 10cal fruit popsicle. I am a serious choco-holic needing to find alternatives to brownies.

    Fiber one 90 cal brownies are pretty good, if a bit small. Frozen bananas (with or without cocoa powder) make an delicious ice cream-like substitute. Hot chocolate made with cocoa powder and milk or water is pretty good too. You can also make homemade brownies with vegan ingredients and red or black beans instead of flour.

    Fiber One brownies are decent. But if you want a brownie, have one. Just don't have the whole pan. Eat it slowly, enjoy it, and be done. If that's too difficult for you, try dark chocolate. That works for me.

    Use the brownie as motivation. Work a little extra hard in the gym and go for it as a reward.

    For the most part, I just eat the same desserts I always have. I just make sure to follow the serving! Instead of a giant bowl of ice cream, I make sure it's just a 1/2 cup or 1 cup if I have exercised a lot that day. You have to treat yourself or you will go crazy :) I've lost 26 pounds in 4 months with very little change to the types of foods that I eat.

    I'm an ice cream person, myself. If you live in Canada, Chapman's sells a dutch chocolate flavor that is 90 calories per half-cup and tastes amazing - regular ice cream is double that and I like this better.

    If you don't (even if you do, really), this site should solve all your problems.

    Eat the brownie. Just make arrangements to walk a few extra steps today or tomorrow. And don't pig out on said brownie, just have one. or half of one now, and half later. Or eat the whole pan now and plan on working it off for the next week :P If you are worried a lot about it , make your own using the healthier substitutes and then enjoy not feeling bad :)

    forbidding yourself of something forever is silly, restraining yourself to a once in a while treat is bliss.

    It's almost time for my chocolate chip cookie. Nom nom!

    there was just a recipe for black bean brownies on popular forum posts.

    i still make my favorite baked goods, but i use egg whites, whole wheat flour and applesauce rather than whole eggs, white flour, and oil.

    and i *try* to eat less of what i make..still struggling on that.

    I suggest Skinny Cow / Unreal chocolate candies. They're delicious and satisfy the craving!

    It drives me crazy when people get all defensive when someone declares that they wish to not eat a completely unhealthy type of junk food. Why is that so bizarre, and hard to understand? For many, and most likely the ones who ask..stopping at one brownie, one serving of chips, etc is just not an option, or they prefer to eat something a bit more nutritious. As far as your question goes, http://healthy-recipe-group.fitsugar.com/Single-Serve-Black-Bean-Brownies-16128450 I promise you can't taste the beans lol. I also almost never use coconut flour because I dont have it..so I will add a tbs of whole wheat flour, or garbanzo bean flour. Making something a single serving also helps, and this is really filling.

    I also like to food process any type of fruit, with any healthy addins for an "ice cream" type dessert. Lately I've been doing frozen peaches with some pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla protein powder, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and topping with a bit of pumpkin seeds and golden raisins.
    It drives me crazy when people say one food is more unhealthy then another, a macro is a macro you can eat anything you want if you hit your macros and calorie goal. So i guess we can agree to disagree.

    Chips, brownies or ice cream will not kill you, nor does it alone cause weight gain so get off the high horse and realize that it comes down to will power and the ability to not stuff your face. You can get fat on your so called clean foods to

    This will sound weird but Diet Pop cake/ cupcakes.

    I actually made them this morning. Take any box of cake mix the kind you normally add egg and oil to and instead of egg and oil mix it with a can of diet pop. Bake following the directions on the box. I made large cupcakes, got 15 out of the box so only 106 calories each. I used diet sprite with french vanilla cake mix. I've heard Colas work well with chocolates and diet root beer is supposed to work well with spiced cakes. You can really experiment with the different flavours. I don't find the pop taste really comes through just tastes like cake and its really moist.
