    Banana maple yogurt with cottage cheese. PB2 sprinkled over ice cream.

    There's a few good options in your Protein powder thread OP.

    I have no sugar added ice cream bars or a pancake with apple and spices added topped with a dollop of whipped cream. If apple pancake I sometimes add a tablespoon of sugar free applesauce to the top of it.

    Homemade brownies fresh out of the oven. It's healthy if it fits in my calories.

    What's an "unhealthy" dessert?

    My definition of healthy dessert is (1) a sweet treat I enjoy that (2) has some micronutrients or protein, not just fat and carbs AND (3) is lower in calories than a typical dessert.

    I don't mind eating "unhealthy" desserts here and there too, I'm not one who thinks sugar or fat is the devil, but I do think I have more than enough of them already so if I can find a dessert that helps with other things I actually lack in a low calorie package, then that's great. Then it becomes not just an extra that I make room for in my day but is actually helping to meet nutrition needs. Dark chocolate is a nice example, it is a source of iron and as a vegetarian I have to make sure I get enough. Dip some berries in that chocolate and now I have a little vitamin c to help me absorb that iron....all in a yummy package!

    Every normal night recently I've had a mix of no fat plain Yoghurt, fruit (berries or pineapple), sometimes cacao, collagen (for protein), something for sweetness (usually stevia or honey) and mixed nuts. I mix it all up and freeze it.... It's summer here so the coolness is refreshing :)

    I fourth Halo Top. Also last night I made a pretty good rice pudding with brown rice, cashew milk, and coconut sugar (plus cinnamon and vanilla extract), and it might be good to add a few chocolate chips too! I also like apple nachos (cut apple into slices and drizzle with chocolate syrup, honey, and melted-down peanut butter.
