Baby food - for dessert!
We all crave something sweet for dessert, or for a special treat later in the evening. A big bowl of ice cream, a luscious piece of fudge, or even a few special cookies may sound delicious, but our waistline certainly won’t appreciate it!
One of my clients gave me a great dessert tip: baby food fruit! If you crave a creamy, smooth dessert, a jar of baby food may do the trick. You can opt for a creamy fruit dessert such as apple blueberry, banana mixed berry, or even assorted fruit. All you get is fruit plus Vitamin C or citric acid to preserve freshness. No added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or trans fatty acids. Just pure fruit.
Or you can be more daring and try a baby food dessert. Unlike adult desserts, they’re sweetened with juice concentrate instead of processed sugars, and contain no artificial colors or flavorings. For no more than 110 calories you can enjoy a delicious vanilla custard or peach cobbler. Spoon it right from the package, or serve it in a beautiful dessert dish. Either way, you’re going to love the taste!
Portion control? Got it.
Added colors/flavorings? Zip.
Made from real foods you trust? Definitely.
Taste great? Give it a try!
