For those who crave sweets while dieting...
And want to stay sane, and not feel guilt. Try one of these recipes:
Protein Pudding
Wisk together
3 packages Jello-O Sugar Free/Fat Free instant Choc pudding mix
3 cups Skim Plus skim milk
15 scoops Optimum 100% (whey choc.)
Throw in the fridge and snack on when needed.
According to the recipe this makes 12 servings but that's iffy, broken into 12 this is what you get per serving:
Calories: 212
Total Fat: 1.25 grams
Sat fat: .5 grams
Total Carbs: 8 grams
Sugars: 5 grams
Protein: 33 grams

Here's one that resembles apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
Trioplex apple cinnamon protein bar. Warm it in the microwave & add frozen vanilla yogurt over it.

Pancake lovers...
Protein Pancake
½ cup of old fashioned oats, 2 packets of Equal or splenda
5-6 egg whites
1 tsp of vanilla extract
½ cup of whipped cottage ( Use the friendship brand)
Mix ingredients together in a blender until it looks like pancake batter. Cook like reg pancakes. But use fat free butter spray and sugar free syrup.
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
Forgot to add: Drizzle crumbled almonds on any of these.

There you go. ;)
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
Hot choclate lovers...
raw cacao with a few drops of stevia.
raw cacao has lots of magnesium, sulphur and anti oxidants.
stevia is an herb that is many times sweeter than sugar, and w/o all the detriments. You can get it in liquid or powder form. It may seem expensive, but you only need the tiniest bit, so it lasts forever. It has NO bad effects like sugar, aspartame or sachharine.
and if you like, fat free cool whip it. yum
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
i just chew up candy bars and spit them out. That way I get the taste but not everything else.
I know that sounds completely bulimic but trust me, I'm not.
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
Haha thats ok, my mom and I both do that sometimes. Sometimes it's nice just to taste the food....then spit it out. Hah

Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
On a side note, speaking about craving sweets...since I started taking this sleeping pill called Ambien once in a while, I noticed that I started to crave sweets more. I'm usually a salty-snack person, like I'd rather have chips than candy when I'm indulging.
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
i get horrible sweet cravings! so i always have a stash of frozen blueberries in the freezer which are like candy to me...just a few will usually stop the craving
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
Oh, frozen fruits are good too. Esp. a riped frozen banana. It tastes like baby banana food.
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
what would be PERFECT with those pancakes is some blueberries chucked in :P i loveeeee berries
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
oooooooo that's very very bad, chips are evil because i love them but what i found as a subtitute is flavored pita chips, yum they are SO GOOD!! try them out
i eat only a couple -- when i'm really craving
or i'll snack on something crunch like carrots
ps. have you met the ambien people yet :/
Re: For those who crave sweets while dieting...
Should I be frightened LOL of other Ambien people,La Exotique?
;)
Yes I love those pita chips you're talking about...pita crisps. :D
