Late night sweet tooth, thanks mom!

[BigPappa1959 8]

Since I was a kid good ol mom would drum up something sweet right before bedtime. Well many years later I have that same mentality. I don't even feel hungry so I know it's all in my mind. I've tried the sugar free Jello cups and things like pistachio nuts but I want goodies like ice cream or Cookies, which I know is the worse thing I can do. I need alternatives!!! What do you guys do?

I make chocolate pudding from a Protein shake and Protein powder, then freeze in in ice cube tray so I have a 1 oz portion of "ice cream".

The recipe is 1 adkin chocolate shake and 2 scoops of chocolate Protein Powder. The mix has 60 gm of Protein and will fill 6-8 ice cube slots so there is 8-10 gm of protein in the treat. The texture is smooth and your brain thinks you are having a routine bedtime treat.

You can also let this set in the fridge and eat it as a pudding.< /p>

I haven't had surgery yet but when I was pregnant with my daughter I had gull bladder issues and spent my entire pregnancy on a fat free diet.... It was torture lol but my saving grace was sugar free pudding with skim milk. And I also found that if you peel and freeze a banana then put it in a food processor its got an ice cream texture. And if you sprinkle sf Jello mix over green grapes and freeze them they taste like sour candies.< /p>
