Sweet, Low Calorie Options for Weight Loss

Sometimes a dieter just needs something sweet - something deliciously rich without all the weight of calories - which will contribute to a very 'hip' hip.

Here are a few of our favorite, low calorie options when the Sweet Tooth Fairy strikes:

This is one of my favorite sweet treats.  Take a single serving container of LIGHT yogurt (110 calories or less) and mix with 1/4 a container of thawed Cool Whip FREE.  At 15 calories per serving, the entire container of Cool Whip FREE contains less than 400 calories - so 1/4 of a container is just under 100 calories.  

This sweet treat is absolutely rich and delicious with minimal fat and calories weighing in at about 200 calories.  Sometimes I add a bit of Splenda and/or extract.  Rum extract tastes great with vanilla yogurt.

Egg roll wrappers can generally be found in the fresh produce section of your local market.  For only 75 calories - you can enjoy four!

I fill mine with a bit of fresh, canned or thawed frozen fruit and add a bit of Splenda and ground cinnamon. Then I seal the edges and drop into boiling water.

They will sink - so be care that they don't stick to the bottom of your pot.  They will slowly rise.  I like mine a bit gummy, so I don't cook them long.

Once I remove them from the pot, I allow them to drain, then dust them with powdered sugar and add a dollop of fat free whipped topping.

Rich cocoa makes a delectable sweet treat for dieters when prepared with 1 cup of skimmed milk, heated.

Add 1 Tablespoon of powdered cocoa to 1 Tablespoon of water and mix into a paste.  Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.  Next, add to the warm milk.

Top with a few mini-marshmallows if desired and pop into the microwave until cocoa is foamy on top.  Sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar OR powdered cocoa.
