My current favorite:

Sweet fresh strawberries, sliced banana with Dream Whip and cocoa powder sifted on top.

I cannot believe the amount of Dream Whip that only has 10 calories!!!!!

I love 'em too. Tis the season, yeah!. If we're driving down the hill for a trip to the city we always stop for delicious ripe and sweet strawberries at the roadside fruit stands. I eat them plain. But, if I'm stuck with the supermarket ones and not so sweet, I put a pint in the blender with a little Trop50, water, ice and stevia if needed. Yummmmm.  This slush is also great when you add some blueberries. , I'm working within a 1200 calorie day, so this is fabulous for me.  I'll start putting yogurt in my smoothies again real soon, and a banana. :-)

cjkl, I'm sorry you're experiencing hunger/cravings. Have you considered keeping your usual diet strong on protein? 6-7 oz. baked fish and 1.5 cups of green vegies is very filling and low in calories. I have found that when I keep the carbs on the low end I feel more satisfied and have little to no cravings.

My favorite thing to keep in the fridge is 98% fat free turkey and Laughing Cow Light cheese. It's always at the ready for when I'm feeling desperate.

 Just a thought for tomorrow and onward. :-)
