With spring quickly approaching, you’re
likely excited about some of the lighter foods that are going to be headed your
way. You’re looking forward to starting
up on a lower calorie diet to shed the extra winter weight you’ve gained and
are antsy to try out some new recipes.
Since there is many spring-time foods that
you can be adding to your diet, livening up your former meals shouldn’t be too
big of a problem – dessert included.
The trick is to make sure that you’re still
opting for lower calorie options so that you can maintain that target calorie
intake that you’re going for.
Let’s take a quick peak at three light
spring desserts that you can tantalize your taste buds with that won’t destroy
your diet.
Home
Made Peach Crumble
Peaches are in season and nothing will make
your taste buds happier than a fresh bowl of peach crumble. Prepare this dish on your own so that you can
control the ingredients that go in along with the fat and calories.
To prepare it, cut up some fresh peaches
and place them in a bowl. In another
bowl on the side, mix together some dry oats (roasted if you prefer), a few
tablespoons of light butter, along with some low calorie sweetener. This should turn the oats into a crumbly
texture, which you’re then going to place over the peaches.
Top this with a few dollops of unsweetened
applesauce and then some low-sugar vanilla yogurt if desired.
Jell-O
Berry Parfait
The second dessert to consider adding to
your diet plan is the Jell-O berry parfait.
This one will provide you with an excellent dose of vitamin C, fiber, as
well as antioxidants to help fend off disease.
To prepare it, make a box of sugar-free
Jell-O according to the package directions and then once set, top with fresh
blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries.
Serve this with some whipped topping made
yourself from a dry powder mix and skim milk and you’ll have an eye pleasing
dessert to serve to any dinner guests you may have over.
Finally, for those chocoholics who can’t
seem to satisfy their craving, chocolate pudding is a safe bet.
To prepare this, purchase a box of
sugar-free, fat-free chocolate Jell-O pudding powder. Combine it with 1 ½ cups of skim milk along
with a half scoop of chocolate protein powder for an extra protein boost.
Once it’s well blended and formed into a
Jell-O consistency, then you’ll want to top with some fresh raspberries and if
desired, some of that whipped topping mentioned above.
If you really want to get creative you
could also combine some raw oats, light butter, and sweetener into a pie crust
to pour the box of pudding into. This
would then give you chocolate raspberry pie, which would work great if you’re
serving a larger crowd.
So keep these simple yet nutritious
desserts in mind this spring. They’ll
provide vitamins, nutrients, and won’t break your calorie bank.
