Fighting My Cravings, CREATIVE and FUN Recipes

FIRST RECIPE

You Know That Weird Jello Desert Your Strange Aunt Makes That is Always at Family Reunions?

yeah, that one... You Can Make a HEALTHY Version.

All you need is:

2 cups of Greek Yogurt (0% fat, plain)

3 cups of Sugar Free Jello (yeah, you've got to make it first)

3 packets of Stevia (like splenda, only better)

A few mixing bowls and some snack size Glad/ziploc/tupperware containers with lids

Some fresh fruit, AND

A Sense of Humor.

Alrighty my Mighty Chefs of Healthy Cuisine, This snack is not to be eaten EVERY DAY, but is a fun replacement for the ice-cream or pie deserts you may feel you are missing out on! This is an Anti-Craving Treat.


Step One: Make Sugar Free Jello (I like black cherry or orange) and Measure out 3 cups. (Give the rest to the boyfriend or kids or hubby, because sharing is caring)

Step Two: In Separate container, mix stevia with greek yogurt and your choice of fresh fruit. (I used strawberries since they are lower in natural sugars)

Step Three: Portion Jello evenly into 4 plastic containers, and then evenly portion greek yogurt/fruit mixture on top.

Step Four:  Enjoy, you've got 4 handy little treats for if the hubby/bf/kids have something fattening and you want to feel included! Only your treat is colorful, 0% fat, low sugar, and good for you. (and I bet the Significant other and Offspring will want to try it)

Step Four Point Five...: I really hope it goes without saying that you would have to refrigerate these... but I said it anyways.

ommm nom nom







NEXT RECIPE!


To Defeat The Crazy Cheese Craving!

This one is so easy, So fast, and so simple.... I don't even know what to call it without exposing all the ingredients, so we will call it:

!Fast Breakfast!

You Need:

3 egg whites

2 tablespoons of fat free cottage cheese

A pinch of garlic

A pinch of salt


OKAY, so you dump all this in a MICROWAVE SAFE bowl, and mix it around. Then you nuke it for 30 seconds. Then you mix it a little more, Then you nuke it again for 30 sec, then you mix it one more time, and nuke it till it's fluffy (about a minute more in my microwave) and then you let it sit for a bit and cool off, and then you eat it. It will taste surprisingly like you used actual cheese, and minimize your dish usage. I like to have it with broccoli... :shrug: but I'm special like that.

LAST RECIPE OF THE NIGHT!

Conquer The Chocolate (or peanut butter) Monster


Once again, this is a simple tool for fighting Cravings. It will be lower in fats and sugars than most 'low fat' deserts available, and will be high in Protein.

You need:

1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt (0% fat, Plain)

1 Packet of Stevia Sweetener

1 Teaspoon of  either Chocolate Hazelnut Spread or Peanut Butter ( I use Justin's Organics)

And you pretty much mix these all together until it is fairly consistent, Pop it in the freezer for about 5min to make it a little more solid, and have yourself a treat.
