http://www.cooks.com/recipe/pp9nt2zg/jello-peach-pie.html

1 pkg. (3 oz.) peach Jello
1 1/2 c. hot water
1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
Sliced peaches
Baked pie shell
Cool whip light
Cook Jello, water, sugar and cornstarch together. Cool slightly. Pour over sliced peaches in a baked pie shell. Serve with topping.

One of my favorites is frozen bananas, strawberries, or blueberries dipped in dark chocolate (hand full dark chocolate chips melted in microwave on low) and sprinkled with chopped almonds for protein

Weight watchers Crustless cheesecake (found recipe online & can make in a muffin tin!) top with fresh fruit

Mix greek yogurt and whip cream and top with fresh fruit can freeze it a bit too!

Carmel apple salad -butterscotch pudding (can also make with pistachio pudding and omit peanuts), whipped cream, crushed pineapple, sprinkle with chopped peanuts - can go sugar free if want

Or any kind of cottage cheese, jello, fruit salad

My favorite is a peach or apple split and baked with a sprinkle of brown sugar, cinnamon, wheat germ, oats, whatever you desire. Tastes like pie to me! My hubby likes to top his with icecream so its family friendly and smells wonderful!

Dole Dippers…. banana slices covered in dark chocolate.. so good

Don't need their special machine, you can make any of those with just a regular blender or food processor.

I make mine with 1-3 bananas (depending on how active I was that day)
almond milk
cocoa powder
vanilla extract
cinnamon!

yum

Strawberry Slushie
If you have a food processor with blade attachment:
2C frozen strawberries--process until like "snow"
Add some sugar and/or stevia to sweeten
With the machine running, pour in the fresh juice of 2-3 oranges

100 calorie vanilla greek yogurt
PB2 or natural peanut butter
1-2 drops of vanilla extract

You can add granola on top or crumbled graham cracker.
It tastes like pb yogurt. I put mine in the freezer so it tastes more like ice cream

I'm SO trying this soon! Sounds wonderful! Thanks!

drizzle 1TBL of melted raw honey over 1cup of fresh blueberries and add a dollop of whipped cream ..cures the sweet tooth for sure

I have several variations and the lowest calorie ones are nearer the end. No artificial anything. The lowest calorie plain ones are about 55 calories each. These are mini cheese cake bites, more like a cookie than a piece of cheesecake, but it satisfies the sweet tooth!

Think of your favourite desserts and portion them out to reasonable sizes that fit into your calorie goal.

the dark frozen cherries are the best... but be careful. i used to go crazy with these, and at way too many at a sitting. they were delicious, though

buy organic frozen cherries. eat za cherries. be amazed

Multiple ways to make your own substitutions for ingredients too.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl, except baking powder. Mix all wet ingredients together in another bowl. Add baking powder to dry ingredients and then quickly mix in the wet ingredients until just moisened. Gently fold in raspberries and raisins. Fill muffin cups almost to the top and bake for 20-25 mins until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy!

*Tip - If using a 12 cup muffin tin you'll have three empty cups. Fill these 2/3rds with water so your muffins bake evenly. OR you could put less batter in each cup to make a dozen.

This is my modified version of the Very Berry Oatmeal Muffins recipe found on Food.com. CAUTION - If you try the original recipe, DO NOT use 1 tbsp of baking powder. Your muffins will taste VERY bitter because that's way too much.

I came up with this one day when I had 2 real ripe banana. I call it a banana nut bread shake. So if you like banana nut bread and you want to drink a frozen version of it, then try this.

3 cups Kroger deluxe churned nos sugar added 40% less fat Souther Crunch Butter Pean Ice Cream.

2 medium ripe bananas. Even the real ripe ones.

1 cup 1% reduced fat milk.

That should make 4 8 oz servings.
