Healthy Sweet Tooth Ideas

Hey People - long time no post for me - but I am working hard at getting fit. Dropping fat and gaining muscle can be a slow process when taking care of a family.

I suffer from a compulsive sweet tooth, one of the reasons why I was overweight my whole life. My favorite was crushing up a dozen oreos in a glass of milk and slurping it down. So now that the weak of stomach have dropped off I will give you some ideas for a great sweet tooth cure while you are watching your diet like a hawk.

Muscle Cake Batter - Not really used to make cake, but it comes out with a batter-like consistency and tastes great. This is a great post work out dessert.

1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt (Fage or Oikos)
1 Cup Incan Warrior Breakfast
1 Scoop ON Whey (Double Rich Chocolate)

[i]First - make some Incan Warrior Breakfast: (season to taste)[/i]

Quinoa, Imported, Organic
Cinnamon
Spices, nutmeg, ground (1 tsp)
Spices, allspice, ground (1 tsp)
Milk, Skim Milk
Dry Roasted Whole Almonds (Unsalted)
Dole Frozen Blueberries
1 Apple

Directions (From T-Nation.com)

1) Toss quinoa, water, spices, and salt into a pot and bring it to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or so. You want most of the liquid to be absorbed.

2) Add milk and simmer for another 10 minutes. Then add apples, blueberries, and pecans.

3) Let sit for 10 minutes covered so it'll thicken, then scarf in down.

For a less carb loaded treat:

Whey Pudding:

1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt or Probiotic Vanilla Yogurt
2 Scoops ON Whey Double Rich Chocolate

Mix it real good. Seems like a lot of powder, but the yogurt will mix into it and make a pudding-like treat. Toss some blueberries or other anti-oxident rich fruit and consume with a smile.

There are tons of variations, and I am sure there are better ones than I make, but these cure my cravings and keep my numbers right on, so guilt-free sweet love for me!

Keep up the faith brothers and sisters, a healthy body makes for a healthy mind- and these are the magic keys to the kingdom!
