These things have saved me from many "binges" on sweets...delicious food that is sooo much better for you!

Plain Greek Yogurt. I can make it into a desert with pudding or Jello, It can be turned into a frozen treat,or sub for sour cream.
Greek Yogurt makes a great veggie dip and of course Greek Yogurt can be mixed with fruit.

Cherry Coke Zero. OMFG it is so good. It tastes just like the real deal without the calories. I am so in love. I LOVE YOU COKE ZERO AND ALL YOUR WONDERFUL FLAVORS!!!!!

Spinach Good in salads, on burgers, fajitas.....and so much more. One day I will be brave and try it in a smoothie.

Try it in the smoothie, if you already like it on other foods you will like it. I started with more fruit less spinach then progressed lowering the fruit increasing the spinach, I now do 2 cups of spinach- depending how much fruit or other greens you put in the spinach is barely noticeable.

I love any home cooked meal, healthy or not healthy

I try to keep a batch of my homemade guacamole in the fridge, most times. It has magical, transformative properties when applied to other foods. Mine has diced tomato, minced shallot, lime juice, and a bit of salt, in addition to the avocado (which I mash, because the texture is so much better than blended). I use the stuff on everything, from tortilla chips (I like Tostitos Artisan ones. Roasted Garlic and Black Bean is the best!), to lean chicken burgers, sandwiches and wraps (in place of even fattier things like sour cream, mayo, butter, and even cheese). It is also really good topped on an omelet! I make an egg white omelet with sliced crimini mushroom, green onion, fresh ground pepper and salt. It tastes good on its own, but the guac brings it to another level.

how do you keep it from turning brown? I LOVE the Roasted Garlic and Black Bean Tostitos!

The lime juice helps to slow browning. Keeping it in an air-tight container of an appropriate size (so there isn't a huge gap of air in the container) also seems to help. Still, it only lasts 3 days, tops.

Greek Yogurt, beans, Nuts, chicken, almond milk, berries, Hummus, cottage cheese

Mashed cauliflower, boil in water till fork tender, drain, mash, add a little bit of cheese & season to taste. It's a great mashed potato replacement. Low in calories and really filling. I had it 6 hours ago and I still feel full!!!

brussels sprouts

steamed cauliflower with fire roasted peppers, hummus, and Canadian bacon are my new best friends.

1. Butternut squash wedges (wedge up a BNS spray with an oil mister or fry light then sprinkle with paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper and roast!) tastier than potato wedges IMO less cals and more vitamins.
2. veggie crudites and low fat hummus, (raw fingers of carrots, cucumber and peppers) sometimes have a wholemeal toasted pitta or a couple of breadsticks too, if I need a bread fix.
3. veggie stirfrys, bean sprouts, onions, brocolli, carrots, wild mushrooms, peppers etc etc and half a nest of noodles, garlic and chilli with a bit of my fave chinese sauce (prob high in salt but oh well) add a poached egg or some chicken breast if you wanna add some protein. (I usually drench this in soy sauce too.) ;P
4. bags of baby leaf mixed salad, punnets of baby tomatoes and low fat honey mustard dressing (I use this to pad out most of my Italian dishes so I use half the pasta but still have a big portion)
5 Fruit nut and cinnamon rolled oats for brekkie, so filling!
