If you have a sweet spot for cold and creamy ice cream, but don't love the amount of calories and fat found in each spoonful, you need to make a batch of these ice cream cupcakes pronto. They're made with Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and bananas; and while low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, they're still lusciously sweet and smooth. The best part? Each mini ice cream cupcake is only 30 calories, but offers three grams of protein. So go ahead and have another, and another, and another!

Healthy Dessert: 30-Calorie Frozen Yogurt Cupcakes

Low-Calorie Ice Cream Cupcakes

Ingredients

9 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt
8 strawberries
Half a ripe banana
1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips

  2. Fill each of the cups halfway with yogurt, using one six-ounce container.

  3. Puree the strawberries and banana. Add a small spoonful to each cup, so no white is showing.
  4. Add a dollop of yogurt to each cup using the last three ounces of yogurt. Sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top of each cup. Gently place the tray in the freezer for at least an hour.
  5. Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 10 minutes before eating.

Healthy Dessert: Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin (and Bean!) Cookies

I hit the first barbecue of the season over the weekend and wanted to bring a healthy dessert that was low in sugar and easy to grab (without making much of a mess), since there were going to be tons of kids there.

I hit the first barbecue of the season over the weekend and wanted to bring a healthy dessert that was low in sugar and easy to grab (without making much of a mess), since there were going to be tons of kids there.

This is a twist on the classic oatmeal raisin cookie recipe — it has cannellini (white kidney) beans and peanut butter added for protein. This subtly sweet cookie with a soft and chewy texture was a hit with both the parents and kiddos.

This healthy pot pie recipe from FitSugar reader JuicyNoelle, looks perfect for a chilly day. She posted this recipe in our Healthy Recipe group.

One of my husband’s favorite Fall meals is a pot pie. In my feel-good interpretation of this classic comfort food, I use an abundance of veggies with a creamy white bean and rosemary puree (instead of gravy made with white flour). For my husband, I keep a touch of the rich, flaky pastry crust. But you could easily enjoy these creamy veggies over a piece of whole grain or sprouted grain toast. I like to serve these pot pies piping hot with a small salad.

Healthy and Hearty Meatless Monday Recipes

The Meatless Monday Campaign, which is a national health effort aimed at preventing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancer, has become increasingly popular over the last few years. The vegetarian initiative highlights the fact that the body can't store excess protein, and if you consume more protein than you need, you'll just eliminate it through your urine and put an extra strain on your kidneys to metabolize it. Atkins-smackins, right?

Ready to say sayonara to that steak for the day (or celebrate your everyday vegetarianism) and find out why thousands of civilians and celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Alicia Silverstone support the meat-free holiday weekly? Here are some healthy and delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes to inspire you and remind you that you won't miss meat.
