    1 chocolate graham cracker (one rectangle, broken into two squares)
    2 tbs of any variety of cool whip (fat free, sugar free, etc.)

    Spread and sandwich the cool whip between the two graham cracker squares.
    Freeze for about 20 minutes.

    Have yourself a guilt-free "ice cream sandwich".

    Peel and cut a banana into chunks. Freeze until firm. Throw into your food processor or blender and process until the consistency of soft serve ice cream.

    You can flavor it with a little PB2 (I use the chocolate kind), extra fruit, or go wild and top it with a couple chopped nuts, fat free cool whip, and a cherry for a Whipped Banana Split. :-)

    One apple, sliced and baked in the microwave. Add 1 tsp peanut butter for a sweet treat.

    I do this all the time! I spray half a chopped apple with either Parkay Spray or I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER spray. Sprinkle with apple pie spice, and a packet of stevia. Nuke for 1:30. Then top with a sprinkle of oats and some yogurt. Yum!!!!

    My newest favorite - plain greek yogurt with honey and pecans stirred in. The honey has saved me after trying the yogurt just that - plain (freakin gross). Now I have a new favorite and probably staple item for my breakfast/snacks.

    Black bean brownies :happy: 15oz can of black beans, drain and rinse them and put them back in the can, fill the can with water, pour into blender puree and then mix that with brownie 19oz box of brownie mix and bake as box says. You could also use a can of pumpkin in place of the beans, comes out like fudge. Gets me through certain times of the month without feeling guilty and my kids LOVE this better.

    interesting! So there's no oil or eggs? Is this like those no-pudge brownies where all you add is a container of yogurt? Dang, this sound incredible .... Thanks for the tip!

    I like red seedless grapes washed, drained, then sprinkle dry pack of grape jello over.

    Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches -- 140 cal each. A reward for a trip to the gym

    Home made gorp -- mostly raisins and dried cranberries, control the calorie count (I try to keep it under 130 cal/oz) by the amount of nuts (walnuts and almonds) it helps with a craving for sweets.

    This one probably doesn't count, but one way I control my cravings for chocolate and sweets, is to allow myself to indulge in one or two Lindt Dark Chocolate Truffles. Sinfully delicious and only 3g carbs each. If I keep them on hand and allow myself one or two whenever I want, I wind up only eating two or three per week. If I don't have them available, the cravings want to get out of hand!

    What do you think. Does this count, or not?
    That counts. I do the same thing with Ghirardelli Twilight Delight.
