i am trying to eat a lot healthier, but i still have an extreme sweet tooth!
i need some recipes that are low in sugar and fat, but still yummy
Anything from cookies to ice cream to cake works (especially chocolate!).

Famous healthy chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe that takes only 5 minutes to make and is really simple. The great thing is that I use no added sugars, no artificial sweeteners, and all healthy fat sources

Healthy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe (peanut butter can be omitted if you prefer plain chocolate):

Extra dark chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar works well — look for at least 70% cocoa content, between 70-85% — this minimizes the sugar content)

4 or 5 Tbsp of your favorite organic nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter all work well)

2/3 to 3/4 cup of organic coconut milk (great source of healthy saturated fats

2 tbsp rice bran (additional healthy fiber source)

2 tbsp oat bran (more healthy fiber including soluble fiber)

1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts (yes, more healthy fats, antioxidants, and tons of vitamins/minerals)

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional based on your tastes)

1 tsp vanilla extract

a little stevia to lightly sweeten (stevia is a natural non-caloric sweetener as opposed to harmful artificial sweeteners)

Start with the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the lowest heat possible. Continuously stir as the chocolate, coconut milk, and nut butter melts together. Once these melt together add in all of the other ingredients and stir together very well.

Once everything is mixed well together, spread the mixture onto some waxed paper laid out in a baking dish and throw it in the fridge to solidify.

Now you have some of the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known to man!

Keep in mind that you still need to keep your serving portions small because this is still a calorie-dense snack even though it is super-healthy. The good news is that it is lower in sugar and calories than typical fudge and has loads more nutrition than any typical fudge.

The Heart-Healthiest Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World

When you replace butter and eggs with ground walnuts, and all-purpose flour with a blend of oat flour and oatmeal, you get a moist, chewy, vegan cookie that’s loaded with good-for-your-heart ingredients.

Ingredient List
Makes 30 cookies

3 Tbs. canola oil
2 cups walnuts
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1½ cups oat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups rolled oats
3 3.5-oz. bars bittersweet vegan chocolate, chopped, or 1½ cups vegan chocolate chips (12 oz.)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.

2. Blend walnuts in food processor 30 seconds, or until ground into a fine meal. Add canola oil, and blend 2 to 3 minutes more, or until mixture has the consistency of natural peanut butter, scraping down sides of food processor occasionally. Transfer to bowl.

3. Whisk together brown sugar and ½ cup water in small saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil. Pour brown sugar mixture over ground walnut butter, add vanilla extract, and stir until no lumps remain.

4. Whisk together oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in separate bowl. Stir oat flour mixture into walnut mixture. Cool 10 minutes. Fold in oats, then chocolate chips.

5. Shape cookie dough into 2-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten cookies with bottom of drinking glass dipped in water. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies begin to brown and tops look dry. Cool 3 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

I had a bag of frozen raspberries and blackberries to use up the other day, so this recipe for frozen yogurt was perfect–it works just as well with fresh fruit, though! Oh, and it was delicious. I almost forgot that we’re in the middle of a snowstorm and my heating system has been malfunctioning. During times like these, I do crazy things like make frozen yogurt.

If it’s not berries you have, but other fruit, try an agua fresca. It’s a mexican fruit drink that, while very low in sugar, is incredibly refreshing and delicious, with ANY kind of fruit! Here’s a basic recipe, though feel free to google for your specific fruit!

Alright, I’m going on a diet, just to drop a couple of pounds, so don’t worry. And I originally was going to purchase Slim Fast shakes, but apparently there was a recall. So I decided to make a smoothie at home. I just made up a random recipe, here it is:
2 bananas
2 handfuls of raspberries
1 scoop low fat plain ice cream
cap full of vanilla extract
and a splash of milk

Is this good for a diet?
What can I do to make it more healthy?
Any other healthy smoothie recipes that you suggest?

This is very appreciated guys/girls, thanks!

drop the ice cream, no nutritional value

too many bananas too. 1 should be enough.

try 1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 banana
scoop of protein powder
8 ounces of fat free milk.

you should also be eating other food, don’t just drink those shakes.

don’t think of it as a diet, what works is changing your eating habits. Doing weird diets for a short amount of time never works because you aren’t changing the way you eat, you are just doing something temporary.

educate yourself on healthy eating count your calories and exercise. And I guarantee you will lose weight.
