Amy - How many servings does that make? I'm guessing 2 or 3? Maybe even 4? 1/2c FF/SF ice cream = 1S and 1 biscotti = 1S, 1Fr. Can you find out 'cause it sounds yummy.
My COD turned my onto an ice cream shop in town that has ice cream that is low fat, low sugar, low carb and told me to count it as a fat! It is amazing. It is d'lite ice cream (www . gator dlite . com - without the spaces)
Ice cream is a huge thing for me - so this has been a life saver. It doesn't taste any different and is very creamy. I buy 3 at a time and keep them in my freezer. You can have an 8 oz portion too! I try to keep them to 1-2 x per week though to keep from slowing things down.
Wow ladies! Thanks. These sound wonderful. I was really missing rice crispie treats. I will have to try that along with the many other things mentioned
I am anxious to get going on some of these!! They sound great! I'm using Lites, so I like to cut one up and throw it in the blender with some ice cream.. Tastes as good as a Dairy Queen Blizzard to me
I'm clearly the slacker in this group because my sweet fix trick doesn't involve so much as a measuring spoon! I save my chewable calcium supplement (caramel flavor) for when I need the afternoon fix. Only 20 calories, but it hits the spot for me.
BTW - I new here, but I love this topic! And the people in this group are so inspiring.

Here are my sweet fixes and there is a theme here - peanut butter
Peanut butter on a microwave baked apple. Either 1 TB or 2TB depending on whether I am having it for breakfast for lunch.
Peanut butter spread on a reduced fat waffle. I just bought Eggo K low fat waffles (I consider the 60 calories as 1 Starch for me) Again depending on the meal, it is 1TB or 2TB. This is what I am having for lunch today.
Kim #3 - if you miss rice crispie treats and are not soy intolerant. I just found South Beach high protein cereal bars in the peanut butter flavor. I had them on vacation in lieu of a LA lite bar and in my opinion, they are to die for. 140 cal; fiber 3, protein 10, sugar 9. Yesterday, I bought 2 other boxes, but I have not tried the other flavors yet. I bought the chocolate and cranberry almond.
Lastly, this is a sweet treat and comfort food for me which brings me back to childhood and something my mother made adapted, of course.
Rice pineapple fluff. Start with 1/3 cup of raw white rice and cook it. This turns into 2/3 cup cooked rice (2 starches); add 3/4 cup pineapple and then 2 TB of cool whip. So it ends up to be 2S, 1 Fruit and 2 condiments.
If you are someone on a numbered plan with lots of starches to use up in a day, you could try this.

Just chiming in with a couple of ideas. The first is no fat, no sugar Jello chocolate pudding prepared from scratch: ready in 5 minutes. Also, crystal light in cottage cheese with or without fruit; added bonus is that you get in 1/2 or full protein, depending how your day is scheduled.
