Late night, low cal, sweet tooth fix.

I sometimes have these insatiable late night cravings that endanger my calorie intake.. But I am a good girl and learned to save enough calories for my cup 100 calorie ice cream or mini bag of 100 calorie kettle corn. Recently though I've needed some variety and remembered something my granny used to snack on. This is by far the favorite of all my snacks, providing the sweet I need with some tart.

Start by slicing one tangerine or peach, pour into bowl.
Add 1/2 cup milk. I use 1% which = 55 calories.
Add one little packet of truvia if you need more of a sweet kick.. I do.

My little snack tops around 125 calories and it's extremely satisfying. If you have some good ones let me know (preferably under 150 calories for snacks), thanks!

    I will definitely have to try that angel food cupcake one! Here's my latenight sweet tooth-

    Using:
    (1/4 Cup) Package of frozen berry mix = 20 calories
    (3/4 Cup) Fat free cool whip (i freeze it) = 80 calories

    So, for about 100 calories, you can get a quick yummy frozen fix. I like to just divvy the fruit into premeasured containers and put a 1/2 cup to a cup of frozen cool whip in it, so I don't over do it.

    I am not really a "sweet tooth" but since starting on my weightloss journey ( no D word here) I was surprised to find I sometimes crave a sweet snack at night. I have some low fat frozen berry yoghurt, or the Kelloggs dessert bars that are around 80 cals, the caramel one is very sweet and even has a tiny amount of chocolate on the base, and the Berry Cheesecake is yummy too. :)

    Frozen red grapes. They're like bite-size popsicles. I usually eat about a cup of them.
