Quick and low cal desserts

I actually like to buy fat free pudding cups and sugar free jello and then add ultra-low fat cool whip, it seems to satisfy my sweet tooth (and pretty low cal!). I also like after eights chocolates because they come in small portions that are loaded with flavour. If you are craving chocolate, try going with some of the high cocoa content products for extra flavour for your calories. Weight watchers cookbooks can be purchased online or at the book store (you don't need to be a member). I've been using the cookbook "cooking light" for my baking needs and have found the recipes to be delicious without loads of difficult to find ingredients. Oh-and you can buy weight watchers products at the grocery store too!

Snacks that I get that are pretty quick are Fruits, Red Delicious Apples, Bananas, Oranges. My daughter likes those mandarian orange fruit cups. I like pineapple in water.

I get nuts Like Almonds and have those with the fruit so it makes more of a balance. Unsalted. Though they also sell a 100 calorie pack but I think those have salt.

Also check the natural food section for healthy snack crackers and grab some hummus
I also get baby carrots
Oatmeal
Also unsalted sunflower nuts
blueberries
yogurts just check their ingredients.

Del Monte Fruit Chillers Freeze & Easy Tubes (not the cups those are loaded with crap and calories the tubes aren't so much)
My daughter likes the 90 calories grain bars that have chocolate drizzle on them, usually found near or in the granola bar aisle

I mentioned the protein thing because my dietitian said it is always the best if you can have a fat/protein with a carb and most sweets are carbs. That way no spike of insulin in your body from mass simple carb intake and what your body can't use for insulin, it converts to fat on the body. So I have followed that.

teach me to read please! lol

For desert: Fresh Blueberries, Those Fruit Chillers Tubes, Pineapple, Baked Apples, Dark Chocolate and Banana slices, Cinnamon Oranges, Graham cracker sprinkled over roasted carrots (yes it's sweet and taste like a desert.) Low cal apple or berry crisps. That's about it, we don't do a lot of deserts here after dinner, so there's not a lot of them. Every once in awhile we splurge with Angel food cake cooked at home, not premade.

I keep sugar free vanilla ice cream in the freezer and add 1/2 cup thawed frozen raspberries on top (I use the ones that are sugar free) I sometimes add a little sugar free whip cream on top. Very yummy and helps me get past the dessert cravings.

If you are into chocolate and ice cream ( lol who isn't, right?) try the Blue Bunny Premium Light Super Fudge! half cup only has 120 calories and it is marvelous!! Weight watchers has a lot of prepackaged stuff, some good, some not so good. But it is kinda cashy........I also like sugarfree jello and pudding with lite or free cool whip. Check the labels on the cool whip, I haven't bought any for awhile so i can't remember which one is better.


Good luck and happy shopping!!

smart ones have really great desserts that take 10 seconds. there around 160 cal. so their good for when you want to splurge on like abrownie with ice cream but without excessive calories. they come 2 in a pack

"Molten Chocolate Protein Cake
A delicious low calorie, low carb, high protein chocolate fix, that takes less than a minute to whip up! Perfect for a lazy snack, a diet-friendly dessert or a cravings busting sweet treat…
.
Ingredients
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey protein or a protein blend works best- I like
BSN Lean Dessert in Chocolate Fudge Pudding flavour)
1 whole egg
1 tsp raw cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp instant coffee
.
Directions
Combine ingredients with enough water to create a batter consistancy.
Mix until smooth.
Microwave for 50-60 seconds, until cooked around outside, with a raw, molten centre (Note: Err on the side of caution when microwaving- with protein powder recipes, a little undercooked tastes fine but a little overcooked tastes dry and horrible.)
Devour immediately!

Using just the egg white will save you about 60 calories, but bear in mind that this will knock 10-20 seconds off the cooking time.
If you can accomodate some extra calories, I highly recommend adding peanut butter, dark chocolate chips or a mashed banana (or all three) for extra yumminess!"
