Dessert!

I'm going to talk today about a little something that is near and dear to just about everyone's heart, especially when trying to eat healthy.

That's right, I'm talking dessert! Few things are more satisfying than having something sweet that isn't going to make you groan the next time you step on the scale.

So, here are a few things we do for dessert that are pretty low calorie. No recipes (we'll get in to that another day. Brandee's experimental Sugar Free Angel Food Cake still needs some tweaking) today, just some suggestions.

Suggestion number one: Skinny Cow Ice Cream! Brandee said it best on Facebook the other day. This stuff changed our lives.

I personally recommend the Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches. Cookies and Cream is my favorite. Brandee prefers Strawberry Shortcake.

HEB makes a knockoff that tastes exactly the same and is noticeably cheaper called H-E-B Creamy Creations® Ice Cream Sandwiches. They're sold right next to the Skinny Cow stuff.

Skinny Cow also makes some unbelievably good ice cream bars. Brandee is a caramel freak, so these are like crack for her. I won't lie, they're ridiculously good, and at 100 calories a pop you can even afford to sneak a second one without too much guilt.

On a slightly less delicious note, Jello's Fat Free Chocolate and Swirl puddings are a tasty sweet treat that isn't too bad for you. They check in at 100 calories a cup, and while they're not quite as filling as the Skinny Cow offerings, they'll still fool your sweet tooth in to being satisfied with dessert.

[added] Also, for a even lower calorie dessert or snack, we've really enjoyed Wyler's Italian Ices. 60 calories a pop, and all 4 flavors are pretty tasty! [/added]

So there it is, a few of the no-cooking-needed dessert options out there that won't kill your calorie count.
