We are your diet resource.
For many of us the meal is not over until a desert is served. You probably know that most deserts are super high in calories and not very diet friendly. We have become a nation of junk food addicts.
We are greedy. All people are greedy. We want the best of everything. We want a nice car, a big house and all of the rich food that we can eat.
Can you really have your cake and eat it too? Yes, there are plenty of alternatives out there to the double rich chocolate cake or the creme brule. Of course, you can still occasionally indulge in these deserts once in a while if you are sensible about it. Share it with someone so you are not eating the whole thing. Simple things like that can go a long way in weight loss.
Fresh fruit is always a good desert. YIt is easily prepared and tastes great. Not much is better than fresh fruit that is in season. Make sure that it is perfectly ripe and ready to eat. That way it will be the most flavorful and may even make you forget about that chocolate cake. You don't have to eat it raw either. There are many different ways to prepare fresh fruit. For example, you can bake apples with a little bit of brown sugar. This is always a crowd pleaser. You would be surprised how good a halved peach, plum, apple, or slices of pineapple or a banana taste when grilled for a few minutes.
Another favorite around here is bananas sliced in orange juice. It is an odd combination for sure but the sweetness of the bannana really plays off the tanginess of the orange juice. It is also a great shot of energy if you are feeling sluggish.
Chop up some strawberries and bananas to put into a blender with a little bit of skim milk for a great smoothie. Experiment with different fruit and flavors or add yogurt into the mix. It is delicious.
It is easy to come up with your own ideas as well. Just put a different spin on something you already enjoy eating.
