My new favorite dessert-like snack

Having braces has forced me to find alternatives to much of my fresh fruit (and veggie) choices. I just discovered a new favorite sweet snack that fills in as an "in-between" meal as well as a dessert: 1/2 serving of unsweetened applesauce mixed with 1/2 serving of lowfat sweetened yogurt. If you happen to like unsweetened yogurt I'm sure that would work too, but unfortunately I REALLY don't like it without sweetening. I'm using Dannon's Light & Fit yogurt which has artifical sweetening. The Peach yogurt mixed 1/2-1/2 with unsweetened applesauce is my favorite so far.

In the past I discovered that yogurt mixed 1/2-1/2 with low-fat cottage cheese is also very good and satisfies better than eating just yogurt for a snack.

Just thought I'd share for those with a sweet tooth who like creamy/custardy/cheesecake like things.

Sounds yummy. I like any yogurt and pretty much any fruit combined. Vanilla yogurt and Chocolate whey is pretty dang tasty too. I even like some cereals in yogurt.

I've never thought of mixing applesauce and yogurt. I'll try that. I don't think I can get on-board with the cottage cheese though.

Crazy! I thought I was the only one who ate that combination! Great minds think alike.

I'll second Russell's comments.

I just bought the jello sugar free mouse cups. 60 calories and really good! But nutritiously not as good as your yogurt and apple sauce, though.

Mine is chocolate flavored protein bars. I choose them carefully. I make sure they have vitamins and minerals and that they fill me up. Filling me up is something a candy bar has never done for me. Pears and apples are also great.
