Calling all fellow sweet and treat lovers! By now you probably know that we both have a sweet tooth, and as registered dietitians and gals who don’t want sweets to get the best of our waistline (or yours!), we’re always trying to find delicious, low-calorie treats that quench sweet cravings.
Typically, we lighten up recipes and put a healthy twist on them and make them calorie-controlled, but when Tammy’s daughter, Summer, wanted Tammy to whip up these delicious treats for her in-school birthday celebration, we found out these were too good not to share! Plus, they’re so festive and perfect for the holidays! Bring them to parties as a gift for your host or serve them at your own soiree! And although Summer wanted Tammy to make the treat with two marshmallows per pop, Tammy axed them since one treat is just 60 waist-friendly calories!
Psst… looking for more delicious and waistline friendly treats? Please feel free to search this site! And here are a few to try…
