I love ending my day with a little treat, but I always want it to be healthy. I'm getting kind of tired of arctic zero, greek yogurt, fruit parfaits, fruit, etc. haha I have tried lots of different things : ) Is there any recipes (preferably without flour) or even a healthy or healthy-ish treat you buy at a store? I always see those skinny cow desserts but it seems like those are just unhealthy ice cream bars shrunk in size for less calories :P Ideas?!

    Eat whatever you want.... Run for 30 mins (or more based on how much you eat) to compensate.

    Why not have a serving of ice cream or a cookie?? These foods aren't bad, in moderation.

    Yeah, I don't know dude.

    I mean, one of my favorite snacks/treats in the summer time is plain greek yogurt mixed with fresh strawberries and a serving of Nutella. Helps me meet my protein goals and tastes pretty delicious at the same time.

    But I guess I'm a little unclear on the definition of "clean" and "healthy". I just try to meet my body's nutritional requirements with a moderate and balanced diet, which sometimes includes Ben & Jerry's. :smile:

    Whenever I crave cheesecake I spread a little bit of cream cheese over a Graham cracker and my sweet tooth is satisfied :smile:

    A few years back, when I was 250 pounds and flirting with diabetes, I discovered many low sugar, low calorie desserts. Now that I'm down in the 180 range, I still eat some of them. My favorite frozen pie recipe is:

    8 oz Lite {or sugar free} Cool Whip
    1 package Sugar free Jello {of your favorite flavor}
    2 packages Lite Yoplait yogurt {matching jello flavor}
    I have made this in just about ever flavor you can think of. It's 91 calories a serving.

    And a 66 calorie chilled pudding I really like:

    1 1.4 oz packages of Jello sugar free pudding and pie filling
    1 1/2 cups skim milk
    2 cups lite Cool Whip

    Tonight we served cheesecake pudding on frozen Margarita pie. They were very good together.

    I just ate the booty off an Easter Bunny chocolate cake…with white frosting and blue shredded coconut. But since it was the booty, that's probably not clean, is it? :wink:

    Slice a banana and freeze.
    Blend frozen banana slices with peanut butter until texture is like ice cream.
    It's amazing! No sugar needed.

    1 banana, 1 tbsp PB, 1 tsp vanilla = 220 calories

    I agree that it is very important to have your desserts clean. Hygiene is very important when it comes to food handling.
