Recommended Products: Nana's Cookie Bars (Gluten Free and Dairy Free)

When I stopped eating Gluten I found that most of the cookie replacements were even higher calorie than regular cookies!

But, when I was in Boulder I found Nana's Cookie Bars at the grocery store and I was hooked! I even brought some home with me in my checked luggage because I wasn't sure if I would be able to find them in Chicago

These are only 130 Calories for a LARGE cookie - these are soft cookies but they have a little crispy-ness added by some puffed rice

My favorite flavor is the Banana, but these also come in Chocolate and Berry varieties -

All flavors are Gluten Free and Dairy Free!

Recommended Products: Wink Frozen Desserts

I have tried a few low-calorie/ dairy-free ice creams and Wink is by far my favorite! I had been wanting to try it for months but it wasn't available in Chicago until this summer - I was able to find it at Tony's Finer Foods, and you can also order it directly from Wink and have it shipped to you.

This ice cream replacement is Vegan, Gluten free, Sugar free, dairy free, soy free, fat free, nut free and egg free! It is made from pea protein and sweetened with Monkfruit.

Wink comes in 5 flavors but I have only been able to try Cake Batter, Cocoa Dough, and Choco Mint - Cake Batter is my favorite so far.

Because this ice cream is so low in calories (only 100 calories in an entire pint!) It is great for Sundaes because it is still a low calorie dessert even with toppings! Some of my favorite toppings are: PB2 Powder, Soy Whipped Cream, Strawberry Jam, Cocoa Powder, Sprinkles, and Cherries.

Recommended Products: Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding Cups

Jello-O Sugar Free products have been popular in my house since they first were produced. When I could still eat lactose I LOVED the sugar free pudding cups, especially the double chocolate :) These are only 60 calories for a decent amount of pudding, and they are delicious.

My Dad still eats these as a dessert, but I can't have them because they contain milk :(

I tried to make a dairy-free version but it was unsuccessful :( The pudding doesn't set up correctly when you use non-dairy milk, but I am going to try to make it with Lactaid and see if that works correctly

Wish me luck!

Recommended Products: Outshine Fruit Bars

I LOVE ice cream, sorbet, and all of those other frozen sweet treats! These Outshine Bars are my boyfriend's favorite snack/dessert, he really likes the Strawberry and Pineapple flavors. These bars are also pretty low calorie, most are only 60 or 70 calories for a large size bar. They are a great treat or dessert for anyone trying to watch their calorie intake, and you can find them at the regular supermarket(I usually buy them at Jewel Osco in Chicago). They are also Gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!
