100 Calorie Desserts.

It's a new year and with 56% of new year's resolutions being to live a healthier life, we thought we would help you do just that.

We've never met someone who told us that desserts weren't their biggest weakness. So, we have decided to share with you some of our favourite, guilt free, under 100 calorie dessert recipes.


Guilt free you ask? Mmmmmhhhhhmmm. You heard us right, under 100 calories and less for all of the below. Prepare, eat and enjoy :)


FROZEN CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA & PEANUT BUTTER BITES (they're vegan too!)  
1/2 banana-1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter-5 oz. dark chocolate squares
Slice the banana in 1 1/2 inch bites.  Put on a baking sheet and spread a tiny bit of peanut butter on each. Freeze for one hour. Remove. Melt chocolate and dip the banana/peanut butter bite into the melted chocolate. Work quickly. Cover completely and freeze until hard. DELISH.

DECONSTRUCTED S'MORES
This is a lighter take on your average S'more. Dip 2 large marshmallows into 1 tablespoon of melted semisweet chocolate chips. Roll in 2 tablespoons of cinnamon graham cracker crumbs and then take a huge bite into it. It's that simple. Be creative and add coconut flakes or pisatchios for a more unique taste.


ORANGE CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO TARTLETS
Stir 1 teaspoon brewed espresso & 1 teaspoon of orange rind into 3 tablespoons of fat free chocolate pudding. Divide the mixture evenly among 3 mini phyllo cups. For decorations sprinkle the top with extra orange rind, then indulge in this mouth-watering treat.
