Q&A: what is something healthy i can eat to satisfy my sweet tooth?

Usually fruit doesn’t really satisfy me and I end up grabbing ice cream and chocolate syrup (yes, I have horrible self control). What something really delicious and healthy that can satisfy me?

jello, pudding, and applesause are all really good (it has to be low fat sugar free stuff though-but it’s just as good!)

SORBET

2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole doves
1 cup Sucanat
1 rounded teaspoon instant coffee
granules
cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

BANANAS

Nonstick spray

4 firm-but-ripe bananas, preferably organic,
peeled, halved crosswise then lengthwise
3 tablespoons Sucanat
3 tablespoons dark rum

for sorbet:

(1) Combine water, cinnamon stick and cloves in
heavy medium saucepan over medium heat; bring
to simmer. Add Sucanat and return to simmer.
Remove from heat. Whisk in coffee granules, then
cocoa powder and salt. Cool mixture completely.

(2) Strain mixture; discard spices. Transfer mixture to
ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s
instructions. To make sorbet without an ice
cream maker, transfer mixture to 9- by 13-inch glass
baking dish. Freeze mixture until firm, stirring occasionally,
about 5 hours. Break sorbet into large
pieces; transfer pieces to food processor. Puree
sorbet until smooth and creamy. Spoon sorbet into
plastic container. Cover and freeze until firm. (Sorbet
can be prepared and frozen 1 week ahead. Let stand
at room temperature 5 minutes before serving.)

for bananas:

(1) Spray a large, heavy skillet with nonstick spray.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add bananas
and cook until browned on one side, about 1 minute.
Carefully turn bananas and cook until browned on
second side, about 1 minute. Transfer two banana
pieces to each of eight plates or bowls. Add Sucanat
to same skillet. Add rum and simmer over low heat
until mixture is syrupy, about 1 minute. Drizzle syrup
over bananas, dividing evenly. Top bananas with
scoop of sorbet and serve immediately.

You don’t have to eat plain raw fruit – you can add *some* chocolate, sugar, or whipped cream, for example, to fresh or canned fruit. Think of it as adding healthy fruit to your diet while cutting back on the regular sweets.

Heat cut fruit with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon.
Mix cut fruit with chopped fresh mint, toasted coconut, or toasted chopped nuts.
Top canned fruit pie filling with yogurt, or put it on top of a cookie, pound cake, or gingerbread. My mother loves apple sauce over a cookie.
Make a yogurt parfait by layering fresh fruit and yogurt, and topping with granola.

low fat yogurts or veggies are good but if you want something a little different try this.

Great smoothy Recipe:

8oz non-fat vanilla yogurt or ice creame
1 sliced banana
2 tbs sugar
1 coconut’s milk about 10oz
I know it sounds simple but believe me, its good. To controle your appetite eat some nuts when you are hungry. Almonds and pine nuts are the ones with the most effect.

you can also heat bananas with brown sugar & butter in a sauce pan on med and top with whip creame or nuts. really good. Another thing is special K cerial or granola bars, they have a new flavor, pecan cinimon. It is a must try.
You don;t have to have plain fruit, just eat it differently: You could eat apples with peanut butter, or try banana with whip creame. Honey dew melon is a lot better than a regular melon ,it is sweet and you’ll love it. Cantalope is the same except a lot sweeter.
