    OK guys and gals, so many of us here have been complaining about our mid-section, including me, I thought we should also have a thread
    for tasty low cal desserts. Get out mind off chocolate and sugar a little. I am still thinking of one. I know I must have one.

    Tasty LowCal is an oxymoron.

    Apple crumble / cherry crumble, etc.

    Just use the ordinary recipe using artificial sweetener instead of sugar. I prefer the recipes using some oatmeal and some walnuts.

    There is a new fat-free chocolate milk out now with 150 calories a cup. Almost as good as a milk shake. I love boughten chocolate milk.

    Fresh Garden Salad
    Chop up veggies that you have on hand. You can use cucumbers, peppers, squash zucunni, sugar snap peas, green beans, onions, whole cherry tomatos etc.k Mix up a dressing with a package of Good Seasons Italian dressing as per instructions on back except substitute V8 juice for the oil.
    Toss and marinate. Stores in frig 3 o4 4 days.

    OK! Here is what I do when I can not have Blue Bell ice cream.

    Vanilla wafers
    flavored low fat yogurt
    Cool Whip LITE
    Paper muffin cups

    Mix equal parts of yogurt and cool whip... Place a vamilla in the bottom of each paper cup (I also use muffin pan so they keep their shape).
    put a good sized "dollop" of yogurt mixture on top of vanilla wafer
    put another vanilla wafer on top....makes like an ice cream sandwich

    Continue until you fill the pan and put in freezer until frozen again....eat with gusto!!! I like them with peach yogurt.

    Sandi,

    For grandkids you can increase the amount of cool whip...makes it sweeter, but still not as bad for them as regulars sweets.

    This is my favorite dessert and soooo refreshing in the heat. Very easy to make too!

    Not sure what it is really called, I call it "Mom's strawberry pie" :)

    (this has no crust)

    INGREDIENTS
    1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries
    1 package sugar-free cook and serve vanilla pudding mix
    1 package sugar-free strawberry flavored gelatin
    2 cups water


    Cut berries and place in bottom of 10in pie pan. (9 in is fine too)

    In a medium saucepan combine pudding mix, gelatin mix, and water. Stir well and bring to a full boil. Pour mixture over strawberries and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

    Good with or without whipped cream. Yummy!

    Please do not consider using Aspartame as a sweetener. As I posted on another thread, it breaks down into two highly toxic chemicals, one of which is formaldehyde. There are many complaints on file with the FDA about it causing headaches, and there are studies showing that it causes brain lesions in rats. Sucralose is much safer, and saccharin is the least toxic of all the artificial sweeteners. Some of the altered sugars, like Xylitol, are "natural," are lower calorie than sugar and are actually good for you. Xylitol prevents bacteria from adhering to your teeth, and Xylitol gum is recommended by the American Dental Ass'n as beneficial in reducing tooth decay.
