    dates stuffed with mascarpone (you can top them with candied pecans as an option). Your friends will be wowed if you serve at a party. They look fancy, but only take 5 mins to make :)

    i peel and break a banana into four then freeze.

    then i chuck it in the food processor with 3/4 tablespoon of cocoa and some vanilla essance and blend till its like soft serve.

    the freezing of the banana is the most important part, otherwise you land up with sad mush :(

    I like chocolate hazelnut butter on crackers or apples, make a fruit salad with marshmallows in it, mini apple pie cooked in the apple with pie crust over just the top... just hollow out a granny smith apple and peel and slice another apple like honey crisp, toss it in sugar/honey and cinnamon then put it in the apple, then thaw a premade pie crust, cut out a circle, set it on top and bake it. Those are yummy and cute. fruit dipped in chocolate... I've been thinking about trying my hand at making a cheesecake that uses lowfat cream cheese and greek yogurt instead of sour cream... maybe marscapone cheese.... You could also make no bake cookies with steel cut oats, peanut or almond butter, coconut oil and cocoa powder... just think of desert you already like then try to come up with ways to make them healthier - add more fruit, use healthier oils or less butter or applesauce, cut down the amount of crust by putting it only on the bottom or top... and use as little refined sugar as possible... if you need to sweeten try to use honey or agave nectar. but i find fruit is usually a great sweetener on it's own

    Here are my modifications for chocolate cupcakes. The only negative with them is they stick to the cupcake wrappers a bit. I used this recipe, but made a few changes: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-cupcakes/detail.aspx I switched all purpose flour for King Arthur whole wheat flour. I used skim milk. I used only one cup of sugar. I switched the butter for 3 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce. The only other thing I added was 3 scoops of Pure Protein vanilla whey powder. I managed to make 19 cupcakes, they rise a bit, so I only filled the cups 3/4 of the way.

    They worked out to about 115 calories, 7 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber.

    take some ricotta cheese (good quality one, I suggest Belgioioso or similar). Fresh is even better. Add some sugar (to your taste) and some liquor (limoncello would be perfect, but any other can do) and freeze it in cups. Remove it from the freezer before dinner and by the end of your meal it will be soft... sprinkle it with cinnamon.

    It tastes a bit like gelato, but way lighter...

    Enjoy

    Wow... that sounds really amazing, I am going to try something like that! Thank you :)

    Sorry about the first - don't know what I am doing - found the original post.........

    2 old bananas 1 cup quick or old fashioned oats Seriously. That's it. Just mash the bananas and mix in the oats. It's okay if there are still some small chunks of bananas. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. You can also add things like chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, etc.

    I like greek yogurt with vanilla stevia.

    PB2 (peanut butter powder with most of the oil removed), stevia, yogurt and/or cottage cheese.

    One slice of sour dough bread, a super light coating of butter, a super light coating of raw honey, sprinkled with cinnamon.

    Any combination of melons, apples, pairs, sometimes cucumbers mixed in, frozen or fresh blueberries or other fresh berries, with a bit of yogurt and vanilla stevia.

    I know you don't want the pudding but one of my favorite occasional treats is 1/2 a ciabatta roll, cut in half once again, toasted and cooled, topped with a sugar free chocolate snack pack. I tried it when I was desperate one day waiting in the truck for my husband and he had it in his lunch box, LOL, I swear it tasted like a chocolate eclair at the time and maybe it's the memory of that but I love that on occasion (even though I pretty much don't like to have "chemical" foods). But I've let some of that go since I'm a recovered 100% organic fanatic (I mean fanatic). I eat mostly organic and "process" most of my own dishes, but I've learn to let a few things go for my sanity and I realize now it won't kill me now and then to have a chemical sugar free ingredient on occasion.

    Oh yes! Or sometimes just old fashioned oatmeal with a few apple slices, cinnamon, a dash of honey or maple syrup, or (only on occasion sugar free maple syrup - yeah I know it's got the chemical sweetener in it!) and/or a few nuts, or leave out the apples slices and just mix in some PB2.

    !You can grill Pineapple(if you find it ripe), then add a TBS of Greek yogurt, and fresh ginger!
    I must do that again. I haven't done it in quite awhile! lol It is good to have a warm fruit like that!
    You can also cut up an apple, into small pieces, leaving skin on, but core it, then microwave it for 1 minute. The natural sugars are released and you have homemade apple sauce(really apple pieces) I did do that today. I just labeled it as I courtland apple!
