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.

    A couple of tablespoons of marshmallow fluff do it for me. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know!

    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.

    Frozen light whipped topping spread on a graham cracker fixes me.

    I just do not get WHY??? Why deny yourself?? Why not calculate it into your macros? I guess I am rather perplexed.... (and I managed to lose 138 lbs so far not denying myself)

    my 2 go to snacks when i want ice cream or something of the such.....

    strawberry sugar free jello, sugar free cheesecake pudding......layer that in a cup with sugar free or fat free cool whip.....(and lay sliced berries in there as well if you'd like)....soooooooo super yummy!!! OR i do the same with sugar free cheesecake pudding and sugar free butterscotch, and cool whip.....mmmmm.....

    AND....

    thaw a tub of sugar free or fat free cool whip, stir in mini semi-sweet chocolate chips that you've microwaved for like 5 seconds.....refreeze....it's like ice cream! you can do the same with gummy bears ( but don't melt them of course) or m&ms, nuts, whatever....

    makes me happy!

    Hubby and I tried the Jello Rice Pudding "Creme Brulee" - 70 cals and it TASTES AMAZING. I also like the 5cal jello cups - they don't taste funny at all to me like "no sugar added" things sometimes can and hit a sweet tooth plus help fill me up if I'm feeling "snacky" in the evenings. :)

    Yes! I love dates. Just a couple can satisfy my sweet tooth if I'm not having a raging craving for something specific.

    I used to eat the sf popcicles for 15cals each but got sick of them. I recently found Budget Saver Cherry Pineapple popcicles and love them even though they aren't sf. They are 60 cals each but well worth it to me for an evening sweet.

    My other go to snack is 100 calorie packs of Keebler Fudge Stripes...just never enough in 1 pack BUT I won't let myself grab another! LOL

    Also lately have been eating the Yoplait 2X Protein Greek yogurt in peach, key lime or lemon flavors. Was thinking about adding in 1/2 of a low fat graham cracker crumbled!

    You can freeze the chocolate graham crackers with the low fat or sugar free cool whip for a delicious ice cream sandwich.
