Right now my favorite indulgence is a half cup of plain chobani greek yogurt with 1/4 packet of sugar free jello (cheesecake flavor, white choc, etc) mixed in. If I want I can crumble a graham cracker on top and it takes like indulgent cheesecake for 80 calories! awesome.
I just made greek yogurt popsicles! I'm so excited to try them. I've had the greek yogurt pops from the store before, and liked them, so I want to see if my new pudding/greek yogurt works frozen at home. I mixed the oreo pudding with greek yogurt and the pops are 120 cals each, but I did use the sugary oreo pudding. If I use sugar free I think they'll be about 60 cals each. I'll keep experimenting!
Also, parsnip chips. YUM! slice up parsnips, toss in olive oil. Then I toss them in a bag with arrowroot powder (or cornstarch), garlic powder, paprika, seasoning salt and cumin and bake at 450 for about 15 mins. sooo good. even my husband thought they were awesome. I do the same with sweet potatoes I've run through my spiralizer, they're really good too.
Sweet pototoes make great veggie noodles too. White sweet potatoes are perfect as veggie noodles and they look like pasta (sneaky!)
Liz46 I LOVE those outshine coconut waters with pineapple pops. So good. I also love fruttare mango popsicles. I'm going to try to make the coconut/pinapple ones at home, but I'm on a greek yogurt kick right now... clearly.
well, the oreo greek yogurt popsicles were awesome.
Recipe:
1 cup greek yogurt (whatever you prefer. I used costco's brand which is pretty good, fage 2% is also good)
1/2 a package of dry mix oreo pudding
stevia if you want less of the greek yogurt taste
mix well (add almond milk a little at a time if it's too thick, I usually put in about 1/8 cup) Put in molds, let freeze and enjoy!
If you're concerned about the sugar, you can always use sugar free pudding which is also good, and maybe throw in some dark chocolate chips (i'm trying that next!)

Popcorn is my all time favorite, I love salty. Also baked fries. I take a potato cut it up in the shape of french fries and bake them in the oven until they are crunchy and delicious
I like the 50 calorie cheese sticks, also I've just discovered Jalapeno Almonds! 170 cals for 28 of them, which is a very nice handful. They are very satisfying. I love spicy food, and these almonds are so flavorful.
I love papaya. I can eat half a medium papaya... for 59 calories. It's full of good stuff for you, and I find them delicious, and filling. Some people don't like the taste, because it's not a super sweet fruit. My husband doesn't, I see this as a blessing because I get to eat all of the papaya!
An Asian Pear - crispy, sweet, juicy, filling deliciousness with fiber and vitamin C.
Raspberries - tasty with plenty of fiber.
Blueberries - take a while to eat one by one; so makes me feel like I've eaten more.
Carrots, sugar snap peas, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes - yum!
I like a slice of regular, unmodified pumpkin pie topped with the low cal cool whip. Normally I hate cool whip, but it works on pumpkin pie! The biggest chunk of starch is in the fluted chunk of crust, so just leave that on the plate.
