Quick
Diet Friendly Desserts
What's a
diet without a dessert? One crumball diet.
Keeping this in mind, here are a few of
my favorite in-a-snap desserts that are
based on calories.
But
let's face it, rarely are desserts packed
with nutritional values. The nutritional
values locked inside of fruit pies and cakes
are generally canceled out by the sugar
and fat content. Milk-based desserts tend
to be overloaded with either sugar and flour
- or a combination of both.
So
with this said - let's kick-it to the curb
with these tasty desserts that you may have
never considered for dessert time. And as
we have said so often at Diet Bites, dessert
spelled backwards is stressed. No need to
stress out with these low calorie dessert
options - that are quick, quick, quick to
make.
Quick
Bread Pudding
Place
the following into a microwavable bowl:
2 slices of 60-calorie bread, 1/2 cup
of sliced fresh peaches, 1/4th
teaspoon of margarine, 1/2 teaspoon
of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of skim
milk, dash of ground cinnamon and Splenda
to suit personal taste.
Microwave
for about 3-4 minutes and allow to sit
until cool. Makes a very generous serving
for about 200 calories.
Activa
Vanilla Cloud
Fold
1 single serving container of Activa
yogurt into 1/2 cup of light, fat-free
topping (15 calories per serving). About
150 calories and delicious!
Double
Chocolate Fluff
Thaw
1 tub of Chocolate Cool Whip until you
can spoon 1/2 of the container into
a pretty bowl. Drizzle VERY lightly
with chocolate syrup, keeping in mind
that chocolate syrup is pricey when
it comes to calories. Top with a cherry
if desired for an additional 10 calories.
Chocolate
Cool Whip contains 25 calories per serving
and the container contains 25 servings
for a total of 500 calories. So for
about 275 calories one can enjoy a whole
lot of chocolate love in a tub.
Peanut
Butter Rice Cakes
Mix
2 Tablespoons of peanut butter (any
variety) with 1 crushed rice cake. Add
no-calorie sweetener to suit personal
taste. Divide into small balls and enjoy.
Dust with a bit of powdered sugar for
a few extra calories. Recipe contains
about 225 calories.
1/4
cup of raw oats can be used instead
of the rice cake for an additional 45
calories.
