Fruit Desserts

To fulfill your sweet tooth, make fruit your dessert. The natural sugars in fruit make a healthier dessert than cake or ice cream, which have added sugars. Fruit is a diet friendly food, but it does still have calories. If your calorie intake exceeds your calorie output, weight gain will result so don't go fruit crazy :)

Example of fruit desserts:
1 cup berries with 6 oz light vanilla yogurt
1 cup sliced peaches with 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 small apple with 1 Tbsp peanut or almond butter

These carbohydrate-protein combinations make for great snacks because they give you quick energy while also keeping you satisfied until your next meal.
