Dessert Ideas
 

I just started on this plan an have a real sweet tooth. Any ideas for dessert? I'm on the Red Plan. Thanks!

Take a rice cake, put some peanut butter on top and some chocolate syrup (Hersheys Lite) OR, Mary's thing: nuke frozen blueberries and add some cool whip free and a crumbled graham cracker (I do mine without the cracker) OR my old WW recipe, put cool whip free between two squares of graham cracker and freeze for an ice cream sandwich. (LOL- can you tell I like to EAT?!)

I also saw a recipe today to blend ff cottage cheese, ricotta cheese (equal amounts) and raspberries to make a mousse, then layer with kashi crunch and other fruit, like a parfait.

Thanks for the ideas! Keep them coming! I might have to plan my days menu backwards starting with dessert first! LOL! :)

L A Lite Chocolate Blizzard
 

This blizzard tastes just like the one from Dairy Queen, and counts as 2 L A Lites!

L A Lite Shake (Vanilla or Chocolate)
L A Lite Bar (Caramel, Cookie Dough, or Double Chocolate)

Just make the shake any way you choose (add milk or yogurt if desired)
Freeze an L A Lite bar and crush it into pieces.
Stir the pieces up into the shake and place it back into the freezer for about 10 minutes (for thickness).
Add low-fat whipped cream, and enjoy!!!
