Who likes sweet things?! Apple Pie in a Bowl, Strawberry Cheesecake in a bowl, Chocolate Raspberry Pudding...in a bowl. Because that's where puddings go OTL.
So do you like desserts? I DO. SFM. It's actually a problem. I don't feel like I've finished my meal unless I have a starch with it, or something sweet at the end. Both of which are not really allowed on my diet. But because of my restrictions I ended up discovering the worlds most delicious replacement!
I call it apple pie in a bowl. It's fucking delicious. And there are lots of variations.
Plain Yogurt (non-fat or low fat): 60 calories a serving for non-fat greek yogurt (I use half a serving in this usually, so 30 calories!)
Chopped up Apple: 77 calories for a small one according to caloriecount.com
Cinnamon: 0 calories and tastes like pie. I see no downsides O__O. (if you really don't like cinnamon, honey works as well, but it has sugars in it)
So by my calculations, that's about 107 calories of nonfat delicious ddessert that has the added bonus of keeping you energized because of the protein in yogurt.
Another thing I really like to do, is if I don't want to eat fruit (carbs late in the day aren't good, so this comes in handy for afternoon snacks), I put a teaspoon of sugar free strawberry jam in my plain yogurt. A serving of that is a tablespoon and measures up to be 30 calories, so that's probably about 15-20 extra calories, but like... 50x the flavor. Strawberry cheesecake in a bowl, anyone? this is also good if you happen to not like cinnamon. I also have this weird addiction to sheep yogurt, something about it is just sooo rich and delicious! But I've yet to find a fat free kind T__T. My solution? Mix a few spoonfuls of my delicious sheep yogurt in with my greek yogurt to give it more flavor! I justify it by the fact that the sheep yogurt has 9 grams of protein in a serving versus the greek yogurt's 6.
OH AND YET ANOTHER VARIATION! super high protein, once again, low fat ^__^. Really good for recovery snacks after exercising! Chocolate Whey Powder is SUPER high in protein without being too high in everything else, so put that in your yogurt with some raspberries or strawberries and you've got something almost like chocolate pudding... with berries, uh... chocolate raspberry cake in a bowl? Anyway, super delicious, super filling, super healthy!
And that is all the knowledge I have to impart upon you today. HWAIGHTING JANINE!!
DUDE I JUST SHIVERED. I am so totally gonna make this you have no idea. OMG.
