Does the first spring sun   remind you that it’s time to pay a little more attention to nutrition ? Diet yes but without too many sacrifices, because we just don’t know how to say no to desserts.

How is it possible to try to follow a light diet without giving up a  touch of sweetness ? Here are some suggestions for preparing alternative desserts: good, sweet and even diet friends.

Low calorie treats, to indulge in sweetness without hesitation

How many times has it happened to tighten one’s belt, give up everything and then abandon oneself without dignity to a cream and chocolate cake?

Diet does not necessarily have to be a total sacrifice , it is good to find an intermediate way not to give in to the temptation to overdo it, in one direction or another.

Going from everything to nothing is never a good way to go. Better to reduce calories, of course, but without necessarily giving up gluttony.

Try to dedicate yourself to the realization of some low-calorie whim, reduce the quantities by preferring sweets in the glass and a good part of the game is done.

When to enjoy them

When is the right time to indulge in a pinch of sweetness? Mid morning or mid afternoon, when you feel the need to stop hunger. In reality, the ideal would be in the morning. A little whim also capable of restoring the right energy for the day.

Here are some simple ideas for you

A tasty and fresh cream, as well as simple to prepare, is the one that features ricotta and chocolate. Just mix them until they become a uniform and tasty cream and your snack is ready.  

Among the sweet surprises to discover or rediscover there is also Greek yogurt, fresh and healthy. An extra touch of taste? Here’s a tip: enrich it with a little honey and a few blackberries.

Enjoy it fresh, so you will have the impression of eating a delicious ice cream. And ice cream can be a valid alternative to high-calorie snacks.

Choose fruit flavors to go light and treat yourself to this sweet break from the rule. Even a small crepes can be an excellent hunger breaker.

Two eggs, a little sugar and that’s it. Sprinkle with icing sugar and a light layer of honey.

Of course, in this case it is not advisable to overdo it and eat it every day but it is good to remember that once a week even this dessert is to be put on the calendar! Are you a lover of pancakes more than crepes?

So over the weekend treat yourself to a break from the rule with a lighter version of the soft discs made in the USA.

What is needed?

Two eggs, 4 tablespoons of low-fat yogurt, 3 tablespoons of oat bran, cinnamon and brown sugar. A little maple syrup and the light version of your pancakes is ready to be enjoyed.

And the cakes?

Even some cakes can be eaten with little remorse. This is the case of  the apple pie , light and tasty as in the recipe proposed by Misya, a reference portal for cooking lovers. But there is also space for water donuts and light cake recipes that are rich in flavor. Diet, with these sugary brackets, has never been so enjoyable.
