Help - Low carb desserts?

Try looking at "chocolate covered katie"'s recipe blog.
Or "desserts with benefits".
Or "foodie fiasco".

fat free Greek yogurt and a cup of frozen blueberries I is use Costco wild blueberrys or sometimes the tri berry mix but its low in cals high in protein easy and tasts awesome. Hint keep the blueberrys frozen

I was going to say something similar. I would do fat-free vanilla greek yogurt (I like the Chobani 100 kind) with some berries, and then you can top it with some chopped nuts and/or a very small sprinkle of granola or something for a little texture. You could even add a small dollop of whipped cream (or Cool Whip....I try so hard to stay away from overly-processed foods but Cool Whip is a major weakness for me, haha). Or instead of berries you could do a chopped apple and a few walnuts or pecans (I'd use glazed nuts if you have a couple extra carbs) with the yogurt. You'd obviously have to tweak the exact proportions to whatever will fit your needs for the day, but yogurt/fruit/nuts is a good way to get some protein and some good fats along with your dessert, and it's PLENTY sweet. If you wanted it to look nice for Christmas dinner, you could prepare it ahead of time as a parfait in a pretty glass.

Sugar Free Dried Cranberries- Homemade!

• 1 – 12oz package fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup water
• Sweetener of choice equal to ½ cup sugar – ex: Stevia or granulated Splenda for baking
• 2 tbsp of veggie oil (not olive, something without heavy aroma)

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 200F an line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In medium saucepan, combine berries and water over medium heat. Cool just until all cranberries have popped, but do not let come to a boil or else all the juices come out.
3. Drain berries in a colander and transfer to a medium bowl. Toss with sweetener and oil.
4. Spread on prepared baking pan and separate each individual berry as best you can.
5. Place baking sheet in oven and let dry, 3 hours or longer. I found 3 hours worked just fine.
6. Remove, let cool and transfer to an airtight container. Store in refrig. Use for homemade treats like granola bars, low-fat snacking, or whatever else.

Notes: Makes 8 servings. Each serving has 5.1grams of carbs and 2.2 grams of Fiber. Total Net Carbs= 2.9grams.


NOTE: I made my third batch with honey instead. Came out less sweet but I prefer the honey now. Pic is prior to drying.

Make clafouti! I'm pretty sure you could sub out the sugar with splenda if you wanted to. Here is the Julia Child version:

I didnt read all of the suggestions so if I am redundant I'm sorry. A quick and easy one is sugar free jello, however, replace the water with diet ginger ale. It is yummy.
