Quick & Easy Treats


Here are a few quick and easy treats that I have failed to take pictures of but I wanted to share with you any ways because they are so good. Lately I have tired new recipes... But because I was not sure how they would turn out I totally dropped the ball on taking photos of them

The first snack is very much fall inspired. PUMPKIN DIP. When I first came across this recipe I was a tad scared. I love pumpkin...but in a dip form I was not sure if I was going to make this and it was going to be a total mess. WRONG. I made this dip for a work pot luck and it a total hit...Or maybe i ate it all but either way at the end of the day there was hardly any left.

Ingredients

1 can of pumpkin puree
1 16oz tub of light whip cream
1 small box of vanilla pudding (I did not fat or sugar free) somthing to make it healthier
Cinnamon to flavor

Mix all ingredients into a bowl and chill. I served this dip with Ginger Snaps, Sliced Apples & Nilla wafers! I am sure you could use other fruits if you are trying to stay away from the cookies.


Second snack is Chocolate Peanut Butter Frozen Bananas. I love to have something sweet after I eat so I am always looking for something healthy that will help with the sweet tooth but not put me over the edge and make me regret my choices later. So when I saw this recipe I couldn't help but give it a try.

Ingredients

2 Bananas
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup peanut butter

Place chocolate chips and peanut butter in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Slice Bananas. Dip the bananas in the chocolate mixture and place or a plate. Once your done dipping place in the freezer for at least an hour and enjoy. I am absolutly in LOVE with these little bite size treats. I recommend these to anyone who needs a healthy snack after dinner!

Both of these snacks are quick easy and amazing. You can make them healthier by using LIGHT whip cream and the fat free or sugar free pudding. For the second snack you could use organic chocoloate chips and organic peanut butter.I hope everyone likes these treats as much as I did.
