    Saw this recipie on a Hungry Girl show (food network show with low cal recipies). Cinnamon rice cake, then put 1 tbsp of fat free cool whip, then sprinkle some cinnamon, then another rice cake, another tbsp of cool whip, then a little cinnamon on top. Then put it in the freezer for 10-ish minutes, then eat it. I use chocolate rice cakes, but they come in tons of flavors. All in 140 calories, and it's a frozen fat free ice cream sandwich type thing. Had one last night! :)

    I like popsicles. Edy's has some great fruit ones. I also like strawberries with greek yogurt.

    Unless your Dr. says you can't have caffeine or chocolate there's nothing wrong with it in moderation when your pregnant. I had 2 cups of coffee daily up until the morning my water broke.

    Frozen berries in cool whip or chipped cream, I love Fiber One Brownies, or even some warmed spiced apple cider or tea.

    I like to have a smear of peanut butter on graham crackers or granola bars for desert sometimes. The fruit and whipped cream is awesome too!

    I'm a fan of a little bit of strawberry preserves/jam (you can find lower calorie ones) or nutella on a toasted light english muffin. So sweet and really hits the spot.

    definitely refer to http://www.hungry-girl.com/ for any kind of delicious swap you can think of

    If you like cooking and want to try something creative, check out Chocolate Covered Katie' s "healthy dessert blog" here:

    I've been meaning to try the "chocolate chip cookie dough dip" made with chickpeas--basically a dessert hummus!

    Also, some of her oatmeal recipes are fantastic!

    Freeze a bunch of peeled (ripe) bananas then blend them in a high-powered blender. It tasted JUST like ice cream.

    You can add some type of milk if you want a shake instead

    You can also freeze the banana on a chopstick and coat in carob and chopped nuts. (I personally think carob sucks but some people like it instead of chocolate)

    I'm also a fan of the popsicle idea.

    Ok, here's the cookie dough dip recipe:

    Cookie Dough Dip

    1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained) (250g)
    1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
    tiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda
    2 tsp pure vanilla extract
    1/4 cup nut butter (You can get away with using only 3 T)
    up to 1/4 cup milk (Start with 1 T, and add more as needed)
    Sweetener to taste (stevia, agave, or a dash of brown sugar)
    1/3 cup chocolate chips
    2 to 3 T oats (or flaxmeal) (You can omit, but also omit the milk if you do)

    Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) to a blender or food processor, and blend until very smooth. Then mix in the chocolate chips.

    This is really a salad but I eat it when I need something sweet:

    1 container fat free cottage cheese
    1 container fat free cool whip
    1 box sugar free jello ( my favorite is lime)

    Mix all together and chill. Run the recipe to check your calories. Should be around 150 per serving.
