Deserts For Your Sweet Tooth On A Diet

     We all have a sweet tooth, but feel we can't please our sweet tooth because of our strict diet plan.. Well, that's not true because their are plenty of sugar-free or low sugar and fat free alternatives that taste just the same if not better than our usual tub of Ben & Jerry's cherry Garcia. I'll list some of my top favorites that not only satisfy your cravings, but satisfy your diet as well. 

1. Sugar-free Popsicles- You can never go wrong with a few delicious, fruity popsicles on a hot summer day in July. 
   
2. Ice cream sandwiches- Just make your own! Make sure you use whole grain graham crackers and non-fat or reduced fat and no sugar added ice cream. It's just as good as the unhealthy ones in the stores!
   
3. Raspberry and blueberry parfait- Don't forget to use non-fat Greek yogurt and plenty of fresh berries and sweetened your berry sauce with stevia. Note: Always use stevia instead of any other artificial or real sugar.
   
4. Upside Down Fudge Almond Tart- For you chocolate lovers this is perfect for you. Chopped almonds and dark chocolate (which is a fat burner, believe it or not) combined with sugar-free syrup help give the fudge almond tart it's rich, chocolaty flavor.
   
5. Dessert Pizza- Use whole wheat flour and sesame seeds to make the crust and use low fat cream cheese as your first layer and add your favorite fruits and you can also add a few dark chocolate chips too!
   
6. Green tea, Blueberry and Banana Smoothie- Add some honey to your green tea and mix the banana, blueberries and non-fat milk with the tea in a blender and blend and enjoy! 
   
7. Pineapple Passion Smoothie- One cup of non-fat Greek yogurt, one cup of sliced pineapple, and some ice and blend and enjoy!
   
8. Quick Baked Pears- This simple dessert of pears topped with granola and dried fruit topped with a scoop of low fat frozen yogurt is not only healthy, but delicious! Also, adding a little bit of cinnamon can't hurt either, especially when cinnamon has the power to lower your cholesterol level.  
   
9. Vanilla Bean Angel Food Cake- This dessert has zero grams of fat and zero grams of cholesterol and tastes great and a bit tangy due to the lemon juice.
   
10. Mocha Phyllo Cups- Phyllo is just as flaky as all the other pastries except this one doesn't have any saturated fat and only 80 calories per cup!

Just looking at these pictures make me hungry, I hope you all enjoy! Don't have time to cook? Then use restaurant.com for excellent places to dine!
