Your favorite low fat/ no added sugar dessert?

200 cal snack: 4 melba toast (70 cals), 2 slices ham cut in half (70 cals) and slice of cheese cut in 4 (60 cals)
70 cal dessert: 1 cup Yoplait Source yogourt (strawberry or peach)

A frozen banana topped with non-fat greek vanilla yogurt, natural peanut butter, chopped almonds, sugar free chocolate syrup & fat free whipped cream. NOOOOM.

Edit- Might want to leave out the peanut butter & almonds if you're avoiding fat. But I love me some good fats! :drinker:

Why do you need to cut fat? Sugar I can understand.

Stevia in the raw is a good sweetener, as long as it is ACTUALLY raw and not stevia that's been processed and granulated beyond recognition.

OP, that's a tough order...normally I'd say fruit is the way to go...

Lessee...How about a cup of Greek yogurt nearly frozen...put that in a blender with 2-3T of SF flavored syrups (I love Torani and they come in all kinds of flavors) and whiz til combined? Torani even has a SF chocolate syrup. I love 2T vanilla with 1T passion fruit in mine.

Eh ok, that's a toughie, if you can't even have fruit maybe I'd just get some cucumbers or something with some chiles. Yes it's not traditional, but I get wierd dessert cravings.

big vote for the greek yogurt as its versatile and you can mix it up. My FAVORITE thing is to add sugar free pudding mix (I love white chocolate) with greek yogurt and a little drop of water and boom AMAZING pudding with tons of protein. Another good treat can be, if you like peanut butter is PB2 (not exactly like the real stuff but good enough with a fraction of the calories and fat) and great for adding in smoothies and greek yogurt, or just mix it up and have with some apples or carrots.

Make some bliss balls!
they're small and hit that sweet tooth

My recipe is usually (but not always because i mix the amounts around to get the right consistency)

- 10 medjool dates
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup of almonds or other preferred nut
- extra virgin oil (only about 1 tbsp) to get the right consistency

Whizz together in a food processor and press into ball shapes
Sometimes I add a few scoops of protein also, just to get some more protein in my diet!

This version of chocolate mousse might help with the chocolate cravings, and the pudding is pretty good all on its own:

1 cup sugar free Cool Whip
1 package of Jell-O sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding mix
1 1/2 cups skim milk, cold

1. In a mixing bowl, first pour cold skim milk and add dry chocolate pudding mix — whip with a wire whisk for 5 minutes. Pudding will thicken.

2. Measure out 1 cup of Cool Whip and stir into the pudding mixture — and gently whip.

Serves 4

Can you try a piece of high quality dark chocolate?

My doctor told me to cut out the sugar for health reasons and I just did. It was hard but I did it.

My health is much more important than a moment in my mouth.

I just made an apple and blackberry crumble. It tasted a little indulgent, but at 340 calories per serving, it's doable within fairly low daily calorie targets. This serves 4.

-FOR THE FILLING-
540 grams of apples, keep the skin on
125 ml of fresh juice (apple or pineapple)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
100 grams of blackberries
-FOR THE TOPPING-
90 grams of rolled oats
28 grams of unsweetened dessicated coconut
29 grams of maple syrup
25 grams of walnuts
15 grams of pecans
1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

-METHOD-
- Slice the apples into fairly small chunks and cook them in the fruit juice and cinnamon, on a the hob, at a low heat, for around 20 minutes. Use the lid on the pan. Take them off when you think they've become soft enough for you.
-Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the topping (oats, dessicated coconut, maple syrup, crushed up walnuts and pecans, melted coconut oil, and more vanilla extract and cinnamon) in a bowl, with a spoon.
-Strain out the apple, and put it in a dish about 8 inch square. Pop in the blackberries and stir them in.
-Spoon the oaty topping out evenly.
-Bake at 160 degrees C for around 30 minutes. Lower the temperature to 150 or so if you have a fan oven.
-You could serve it with fat free yoghurt to keep it as healthy as can be, or creme fraiche if you have some calories to spare.

This is not a *diet* dessert, but then what is? It's about as good as it can be for what it is.

Here's a picture - not sure how to link it in... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-BhGJ5q2z5IbFlYZ2J0eUxIYVU/edit?usp=sharing

I honestly would not call it dessert if it had no fat or sugar in.

Obviously, you need to listen to your doctor, but I would check again if you're supposed to cut all fat, and consider a second opinion if that's what they are saying. I know 4 people who have high cholesterol (2 who have had strokes) and none have been advised that by their doctors, only to reduce saturated fat and keep an eye on dietary cholesterol (and one of them was given literature that advised dietary cholesterol not really an issue.) Certain fats are actually supposed to be beneficial in raising your good cholesterol (not necessarily the ones found in desserts...)

Why not just have a small amount of chocolate or pudding or something? Unless you have a medical problem, a little refined sugar won't hurt you. I end up just eating fruit if I'm trying to cut out refined sugars because artificial sweeteners taste gross to me.

SDH has a good point. A small amount, in moderation, is not harmful. Gorging yourself silly is another thing.

A small amount of pudding won't hurt. You're allowing yourself a small amount of something.
Fruit is good, no sugar needed (unless you're making something where it is required).

Chobani 2% fat passion fruit greek yoghurt.... frozen for 2 hours. The best protein packed 'ice-cream' I've ever had

Didn't look to see if this was posted or not, but this blog is dedicated to healthy desserts! It's also vegan, but from looking through it you can make non-vegan substitutions pretty easily: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/

For myself, I'm partial to frozen fruit. I'm currently snacking on a bowl of frozen mangoes and a cup of Tazo Passion tea Or I have some of the Lindt chocolate squares and I will limit myself to one (45 calories). The dark chocolate with a touch of orange is incredible, and I can be more or less satisfied with one square.

I like a cup of hot chocolate...Swiss Miss Sensible Diet is pretty good, though I prefer Ovaltine Rich Chocolate...a serving of Reddi Whip is 15 calories, and marshmallows are pretty reasonable, too...90 calories per serving, I think.

I also like plain Greek yogurt with NSA instant pudding mix stirred in.
