    A couple of spoonfuls of whipped cream and a handful of fresh berries ...

    A Halo Top milkshake (see my recipe for Boozy Halo Top milkshake posted here. Lol - minus the booze, if desired!)

    A graham cracker with a thin peanut butter or light cream cheese coating ...

    I am not a dessert/sweets person usually but these do the trick - bring on the salt and cheese for me instead!

    I don't consider dessert to be a "normal" part of a meal. I sometimes accept it if offered in social settings, but other times I politely decline.

    Oatmeal with dark chocolate chips and peanut butter and strawberries... high in fiber and protein, low on sugar and fat (as long as you watch how much peanut butter you add).

    Sometimes when I'm extra hormonal I will spread ice cream on a saltine, which limits my ice cream serving and gives me a satisfying salty-sweet fix.

    Fruit.

    Tea with lemon and honey.

    Since it's summer, all kinds of ice pops, granitas, and sorbet. They're all low calorie and very refreshing. They're mostly sugar and water, so sugar is the the main contributor to calories and is not as calorie dense as fat.

    Crockpot applesauce
    Meringues
    Peach nut pudding cake
    Chocolate truffles (1 is about 80 calories)

    ETA: Also agree with the pp about granitas. I have a recipe for orange granita that includes variations for green tea and lemon-lime versions. The green tea is the lowest, the lemon-lime needs more sugar to offset the tartness and comes in at the highest.

    Also look into strawberry sorbet and/or mango-lime sorbet

    My MIL makes a thing like a deconstructed cheesecake, where she puts crushed digestive biscuits (you could use any plain sweet cookie, oat cookies would be good) in the bottom of a bowl, tops with a mixture of light cream cheese, fat free yoghurt and a little sugar, then tops that with berries mixed with a small amount of jam. It's really delicious and very low calorie.

    I like a serving of frozen dark sweet cherries. Just pop them in your mouth one at a time like ice cream bon bons. Right now is cherry season so they're cheap. I use an OXO cherry pitter and prepare one-serving portions for the freezer. In fact, I have a bag of 'em to do that to this afternoon.

    Two scoops of casein mixed with a bit of cold unsweetened almond milk makes pudding. Low fat reddi-whip is only 15 cals per serving to put on top.

    The packaging for Cool Whip shows how it's to be done. Dip strawberry in Cool Whip. Eat strawberry. I use about 6 or so berries and just dip from the Cool Whip package after first weighing the package, then weigh the package afterward to see how much Cool Whip I used.
