Re: How do you dessert?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Bit of a belated reply, sorry!

Agreed on the smoothies! I'm terrible at getting enough fruit and veg in my diet, so smoothies were a great help when I started trying to eat healthier. They also have the advantage of filling you up a bit more than desserts do, so you can reduce your dinner portions. (Some days when I'm not that hungry, a smoothie can actually replace a meal, depending on the recipe.)

Even if you don't like plain yoghurt, you could give it a try in smoothies? I find plain yoghurt a bit blah, but love it when it's jazzed up. Or if it's the tartness you don't like, vanilla yoghurt's a lot sweeter and creamier.

Ooor if none of those work at all, then there are plenty of smoothie recipes that don't use yoghurt: there are those with silken tofu (no, seriously, they're actually really good, and it doesn't have that raw tofu taste, so you don't have to worry), cottage cheese, or just plain milk/juice. Any of those can be yummy, so experiment till you find what works for you. Don't forget, it's not just fruits that can go in these - veg, or tea, even nuts or supplements or whatever work too. A few suggestions, if you're interested:

What really worked for me when I was trying to eat healthier was to make my own meals as often as possible, using as many fresh ingredients (rather than processed) as possible. It's okay to cheat sometimes (especially while you're transitioning into a different diet), but I really highly suggest trying to make at least one meal a day (you can always make bigger batches and have the leftovers the next day; minimise the work you have to do while maximising what you get out of it!). Search for simple, quick recipes first of all, then try out those that appeal to you. That was really what made the biggest impact on my health, rather than trying to checklist what I was/wasn't allowed to eat.

Good luck with the new health plan!
