Healthy Treats

Stay on track with healthy desserts! I have a sweet treat everyday. These are my go-to desserts. If you are planning on indulging in lots of yumminess (more than usual), I recommend balancing out one of your meals by increasing your protein and decreasing either carbs or fat. This will help you stay on track if you are concerned with calorie intake. (For example: Chicken, rice, veggies... eat only half the serving of rice or cut the rice out completely just for the night) XX

PINT NIGHT: Halo Top or Enlightened mixed with Arctic Zero ice cream. All of these options contain a ton of protein and are low calorie. Arctic zero is very icy, so it should be added to another ice cream. I mix the two to create an even lower calorie option with higher volume. (Per pint in Halo Top on average: 240 calories) (Per pint in Arctic Zero: 140 calories)

JUST A LIL NIBBLE: Dark chocolate. You can't go wrong with keeping some dark chocolate squares in the cabinet. My favorite ones are the wedges from Trader Joes. Sometimes I slice up chocolate wedges and put them on strawberries and add a little whipped cream. Delicious! (Per 2 squares: 70 calories)

What is self control?! Enlightened ice cream bars are my new favorite dessert. I can easily eat a whole pint of ice cream, so these help me not stuff my face (as much lol). There is no going back for seconds because the servings are pre-packaged. The best part is the chocolate fudge swirl in the middle. These satisfy my cravings the most. (Per bar: 90 calories)

Ice cream? I want brownies: Mighty Muffins all the way! You can get them from the Vitamin Shoppe. The double chocolate is my favorite! This is a higher calorie dessert but it's HUGE! If you choose to add this in your day, take out some carbs from your dinner plate. I also recommend putting a tiny spoonful of ice cream on top, it makes it EVEN BETTER! (Per container: 220 calories)
