As I drove by the ice cream shop this weekend I was lamenting the fact that it is now off limits :sad: but when I was grocery shopping I found that fudgesicles are only 40 calories and taste damn good. What other great snacks are out there that I don't know / forgot about? And don't give me stuff like fruit or nuts, yes I eat them and would say they are good, but I am talking about real good sweet tooth snacks that remind you of being bad even when you aren't.

    Sugar-free Popsicles, the cherry, orange, and grape ones. They are 15 calories per pop. I can eat four in one sitting and I feel like I had just robbed a bank!

    I found a recipe on Pinterest for banana "ice cream" that is really good. Sadly you can't eat too much because bananas are pretty high in calorie but if you peel a banana, slice it up and freeze it you can then put it in the food processor with a little bit of cocoa powder and some splenda and it ends up the same consistency as soft serve ice cream and it tastes amazing! One banana makes a small portion.

    If your willing to put some effort in you can make Vanilla, ameretti and raspberry ice cream from cook yourself thin on channel 4. It's 167 calories for a good size portion (a quarter of the recipe). It is sooo good, it's just like real ice cream but with much less calories and fat.

    (The instructions don't mention when to put in all the ingredients but the show says you need to add the Greek yoghurt in at the same time as the crème fraiche and the raspberries and ameretti biscuits go in just before step 6.)

    I've mentioned this before but it's worth repeating:
    Slice a banana lengthwise and then each slice in half.
    Spread 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter on all slices.
    Melt 2 squares dark chocolate and pour over banana.
    Savor the chocolate creamy deliciousness.
    Very satisfying.

    Frozen yogurt. My favorite place has a Ghiradelli chocolate flavor that is so rich tasting that you'd never believe its not horrible for you.

    Good dark chocolate, it can just take a little to curb that craving. Also Blue Bell's 100% fruit bars are delicious. And this ginger gummy candy, I can't remember who makes it, but you have to be a fan of ginger.
    Edit* coconut butter too, little dab will do you, and I mean the coconut butter that's like peanut butter, not like margarine/butter.
