how do you like to finish the night?

for me it's non-fat latte's

such a great thing to top the night with

the  warm milk is so calming, gives you your calcium, and it really fills you up [caffeine does not keep me up, but if i do need to get to bed early i usually swap for decaf espresso.]

100 calories

and perfect for a snack during the day too to keep you until your next meal

 

lately, as an extra treat i've been getting just a touch of whip cream on top instead of sugar. i'd say it maybe adds 20-30 calories, but it makes it feel like a great dessert

 

i also love having a small bowl of special K with a handful of dried fruits if i'm still hungry

do you live near a coffee shop or make your own??

as of right now it's ice cream and popcorn. that's till i tire myself out on it and then it will change to something else. ice cream always stays the same but the popcorn might change.

actually both!

 

sometimes i work/go to school late so I just grab a cup on my way home

but when i'm not out i just make my own

i bought this little battery operated frother that makes great foam, and i have a little espresso maker that you just put on the stove like this

both were around $20

 

I would love to puchase a really good espresso machine later on when I can afford it

Any 100 calorie package I want.

I keep plenty stocked so that I have choices of something sweet, salty, chocolatey, etc.

(Lately, it's been popcorn with cinnoman on top that has been favored)

I'm 5'1" so my secret is putting them on the top shelf in the kitchen. Then I have to get the stool to reach them and put the stool away in the closet (under the vaccum) before I even open the package.

It's sad that it comes to that, but it's such a pain to get to that I settle with just one.

hahah i'm short too [5'3]

but that still wouldn't work for me! i would just grab 10 the first time i step up

congrats on the self control though!

Depending on my mood, I like to end the night with a piece of good quality dark chocolate (or two), or a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream on ice (just under 100 cals).

The Bailey's is VERY satisfying when I want a special treat.  Sometimes I sprinkle it with cinnamon. 

Protein shake,stops me feeing hungry during the night.

with the weather getting colder i love cozying on the couch with a cup of hot tea before bed, i always keep a variety of caffeine free herbal tea flavors around.

A bag of Smart Pop popcorn!  Me and my husband share, only 130 calories for half the bag!

ah :)  See I have tea right after dinner (a fruity tea, like peach or raspberry, even chai, or vanilla almond - my latest obsession!), and wait an hour or so to have my chocolate - that way, it's both dessert and a treat before bed!  ;)
