Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I am on a nutrition quest with primary focus on fresh natural foods. (Info from this list is obviously similar and useful.) My weakest link is snacks and specifically sweet snacks. I do fine for a while with sweet apples and dates and the like but then I just crave a big honkin hunk of granny's cobbler or a 2-lb cookie or .... well you get the idea. Thus the question: Is there a source or do any of you have ideas more specifically aimed at reduced fat/sodium/calories while tasting outrageously desert-like? (If there is such a dish it may be called simply " MiracleMix " . <g>) Thanks in advance for any guidance. Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Raymond, check out this blog: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com . You should have no trouble finding something you like there For me, oatmeal with lots of fruit, guzzied up like pie filling, works pretty well most of the time . With enough fruit in it, I don't miss the sugar. (Blueberries+lemon juice or apples+cinnamon+nutmeg+optional strawberries or cranberries). Just mentioning this since you mentioned cobbler Hope this helps! Peace, Mo R_Dale wrote: > I am on a nutrition quest with primary focus on fresh natural foods.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 When I get to craving that, I go for a Kashi bar called " raspberry dark chocolate " , and it is only 2 points on Weight Watchers, so it is low in all the things you want low, and high in all the things you want high - like fiber, etc. And it is good!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Guzzied-up oatmeal may just be the MiracleMix,Mo! I will also check out the blog. Thanx.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Great info, Annie.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 hmmm that is a very interesting question. Anything you make with a little vanilla added to it would be worthwhile also. :-) ________________________________ R_Dale <luckyfellow Sun, December 13, 2009 4:21:50 PM [veg_grp] Miracle Mix I am on a nutrition quest with primary focus on fresh natural foods.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Cindi, This reminds me of being a kid and getting to make " snow ice-cream " , consisting of a cup of snow over which a drizzle of vanilla and .... tadaa ... snow ice-cream. Certainly meets my criteria for " reduced fat/sodium/calories while tasting outrageously desert-like " . Fortunately I'm short on snow but will keep the tip in mind. Thanks for your response.
