Hi,

I was thinking more along the lines of something I could purchase, not

recipes to make myself.

no sugar, low fat ice cream (Edy's, Healthy Choice),

no sugar ice pops (5 cal per pop),

no sugar chocolate pudding (make with skim milk).

There are other treats for sale in health food stores and the diabetic

sections of supermarkets. Many of us make our own guar puddings for the

ultimate low cal snack.

One thing I am doing with success is the old trick we did as a child,

freezing juice. While there is a danger with juice (calories) as a

desert or snack is it far superior to our tradition snack/desert choices

that it seems good to me at this time. (On no CR but diet)

There are no fat, no sugar added "ice creams".

And they taste pretty good also. They still have the calories you would expect in ffmilk, etc, just no extra from fat, and no added corn syrup. Some use splenda (which I hate), but the brand I used doesn't have that either. I'm not big on ice creams. Primarily I just use fruit for snacks.

Regards.

Anyone hear have suggestions for low calorie treats? Obviously thesearen't going to be healthy but they might help with cravings orenjoying food. I'm thinking of looking around for some no sugar, nofat icecream and maybe some light cool whip? Occasionally I make lowcal jellos or low cal skim milk shakes. Any other ideas? Cheers!-

I think of juice as a fruit as long as nothing is added. Granted 8 oz of juice is more calories than say a 4 oz orange, 4 oz apple. But then my energy source is carbos - not fat.

I notice the "health" bars, oatmeal bars, snack bars, etc have a lot of additives or corn syrup. One bar at $1.50 the first ingredient was corn syrup - that's worse than a snickers bar costing half as much. I also notice the slimfast bars are relatively cheap (.30$), ok for nutrients but I just think a snack should be fun also. When I go thru the store I end up with apples, oranges, prunes, bananas, maybe dried fruit, - they're usually cheaper as well.

Regards.
