Fave healthy desserts?

I doubt this is really what you are looking for, but I enjoy it so I thought I would share. I like to make a "banana split" using a whole or half banana, sliced strawberries, a few chocolate chips or a tbsp of Nutkao (similar to Nutella), some whipped topping & a few nuts (optional). I don't use any ice cream - I know that is blasphemy to most, but I enjoy it anyway. Could also be made with plain Greek yogurt I suppose.

Do you have an ice cream maker? I make chocolate froyo using this recipe: http://almondmilk.net/almond-milk-ice-cream

I add a couple tablespoon of PB2 for an amazing peanut butter and chocolate flavor. I replace the sugar with monk fruit extract as I prefer it to stevia, but any sweetener works. Add a little PB2 drizzle on top and you have a decently healthy dessert.

Simple Broiled Grapefruit.

Directions.

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Place grapefruit halves, cut sides up, onto a baking sheet; sprinkle each with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Broil the grapefruit until the brown sugar has melted and begun to bubble, 3 to 8 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before eating warm.

Fanale Drinks

one cup raw strawberries, one cup of nonfat greek vanilla yogurt, one tablespoon of cinnamon (mix the yogurt and cinnamon first, then dump in the raw strawberries.

Kim's Pops (like giant rice cakes only made with corn and much more tasty) with almond butter and 1/2 banana. Can also put a little honey to make it sweeter and in a pinch we did it with apples which was yummy too. It's my go to dessert.

100g Frozen banana, 30g chocolate whey protein powder, 15-20g chocolate drink powder stuff ( I like Ovaltine cold crunch) and blend in the blender to make 'ice cream'. It's pretty yummy!

saw this on pinterest and it is yum
1/2 cup greek yoghurt
2 tablespoons mini choc chips
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
pinch salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
mix & enjoy.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie (made with almond milk). It satisfies my sweet cravings so I don't give in to the temptation of less than healthy things.

I wanted to come back and add this recipe for Low Fat Zucchini Banana Brownies. My husband and I have made it many times over the past couple of years, and it's really moist and good. It bakes up more like a cake than traditional brownies. We usually add a few unsalted peanuts and they make it even better.

Last night I made 1/2 recipe in a 9X9 pan and it turned out terrific. Depending on how you portion them, they are between 124-250 calories each. The 250 calorie one would be 1/6 of a 9X9 with peanuts in it ;-)

I like the Fiber One Brownies for dessert but I will definitely have to try this Zucchini Banana Brownie recipe.

Chia Pudding!

You can use any kind of milk, but I use Flax Milk, so that it's an Omega-3 powerhouse. You mix the milk with chia seeds, and stir occasionally then refridgerate. After an hour or more, it's like a pudding with little pops of chia seeds in it. You can add a little sweetener to it (I've used jam, agave nectar, or just use a sweetened milk). It's amazing. And now I want some. :P

If you are casting about for something healthier (and much easier) than pie to serve for dessert, look up "clafouti." It's basically a lot of fruit baked in a thin batter. Yummy.

The simplest way to make a clafouti is to
-butter a pyrex baking dish
-pour in enough frozen dark sweet cherries to cover the bottom of the baking dish
-make a batter in the blender
-pour the batter over the cherries and bake.

Serve warm or cold, with or without ice cream or whipped cream.

There are a zillion recipes on the web. This is one of mine: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/fruit-dessert/cherry-clafouti.html but I don't always do the extra step of precooking/sweetening the cherries. You can also do blueberries (frozen or fresh) and almost any other fruit.

Chopped apples with cinnamon, a little brown sugar, and a touch of butter over...pretty much anything. Frozen yogurt (protein!), crepe, yogurt, by itself, in oatmeal, mmm so good.

Watermelon......THE BEST!

Best dessert is Talenti Gelato or my homemade ice cream... it is essential for my mental health
