Mspretty86 365 Posted yesterday at 08:54 PM (edited) I LOVE and I MEAN LOVE SWEETS! I'm looking forward to people sharing low sugar or no sugar added sweet treats (Recipes and Favs). I have been eating sweets ever since my surgery. I have never stopped eating sweets. I'm a great cook so I make all the sweets myself! From my own Protein Bars to even Yes my own chocolate. I never stopped eating sweets and I still continue to lose weight, I just make a lot of dupes and it's very satisfying ... I'm 11 months postop. Let's get to sharing those tasty treats.

Mspretty86 365 Posted yesterday at 09:03 PM These are no sugar added chocolate cashew butter cups. I have included pecans. I eat two to four of these per day! 2 FifiLux and Lily2024 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlondePatriotInCDA 532 Posted 18 hours ago The only sweets I allow myself are the Yasso bars and once in awhile a sugar free fudgcicle. I love sweets too! I'd "kill" for a fudge brownie or right out of the oven chocolate chip Cookies. 🍪 🤗😍 Your Cashew cups look delicious! How many calories, fat etc? 1 Mspretty86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also miss the Cookies right along with you! I spent a lot of time tweaking recipes to be bariatric friendly. These cashew buttercup like I can eat 2 to 4 of these a day and be fine and I cook big big batches and I don't go back for more so that's some real self restraint to be honest. Let me see I think the calorie content is. I think they are about 100 cal per cashew butter cup. People can adjust them to be lower switching out ingredients.

FifiLux 515 Posted 13 hours ago I try to get my 'sweet' through Protein Snacks, which are processed I know but at least I can be sure I get some protein in and I feel like I have had a treat. Considering, apart from my daily yogurt, everything else I eat is either a raw (nuts, fruit, veg) or made from scratch by me I don't mind the Fulfil or MyProtein snack. Shop wise, I allow myself dark chocolate such as Lindt with a flavour like chili or raspberry and I have two squares post dinner when I have it. My boss gave me a box of delicious Belgian chocolates recently so yes I indulged, though did share some. Twice now I have made delicious brownies using dates, yummy and gooey - https://nourishedbynic.com/brownie-protein-bars-nut-free-gluten-free-no-bake/#recipe Couldn't find a seed butter so I adapted and used a spread here that is made out of biscuit (Biscoff) so increases the sugar but by the time I portion it all out there is still not much for the deliciousness it gives (approx 250cal, 25g carb, 10g fat & 10g protein). I try to limit myself to one a day and freeze them. 1 Mspretty86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mspretty86 365 Posted 8 hours ago @FifiLux awesome! I am going to try those brownies! Lindt makes some very goood chocolate. I'm a chocolate connoisseur 😂. I like how you figured out what works for you and what you like and the way that you limit your intake awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmberFL 926 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I am a feen with sweets hahaha! I have a sweet treat or 2 every single day. I eat two PB Balls that I make with Natural Peanut Butter, shredded coconut, pure maple Syrup, flavored Protein powder or collagen powder. I have made chocolate covered dates with PB and nuts inside. I make a Protein Ninja creami with all the different flavors, Yasso bars, mini helado pops, I make pudding with fairlife Protein Shake and SF FF pudding mix. I also do eat regular sweets. See's candy, regular ice cream, candy bars. I just track it and allocate the calories for it or not. I just found built puff bars and omg these are amazing!! I want your recipe! those look dang delish! Edited 4 hours ago by AmberFL 1 Mspretty86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mspretty86 365 Posted 3 hours ago I am so glad I'm not the only one who eats sweets every day. I told myself that I was not going to restrict myself from eating sweets, knowing that I like sweets, I didn't wanna set myself up for failure so I include them just as I do Protein and healthy food that I have to eat. OMG I'm going to try your Peanut Butter balls. 🤪😋! Simplest form for my cups would be to find your favorite chocolate (no sugar added or high coca content), add coconut oil to it for the fats. Microwave it. I work out a lot I'm not afraid of fats. Buy your cup molds, then really have fun with it put whatever you want in it. I try something new every week. Pop in freezer 30 mins. I don't give measurements cause you'll have to tweak it to your dietary thingy things. 😂, @AmberFL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmberFL 926 Posted 1 hour ago @Mspretty86 ooooo okay! I'm not afraid of fats either. healthy fats are important! I refuse to restrict myself. I still eat fast food, I cant say no to a couple of French fries LOL There are days I cannot lie where I binge like a mofo but its never more than 1 day and I get back on track the next day. I.E today I started my period and I want to munch of anything and everything lol I just want to graze on all things chocolate. But I am eating my healthy sweets and hot coffee. Its helping!

Mspretty86 365 Posted 6 minutes ago @AmberFL that period hunger is a different beast! I allow myself to indulge as well. Everything in life Ebs and Flows.
