Just because you are looking for the best way to lose weight, doesn’t mean you have to give up desserts and after-dinner snacks entirely.
The need for something sweet after dinner is quite common, and there are many healthy, nutritious dessert options that can be included in your healthy eating plan.
While traditional desserts like ice-cream, cakes, blocks of chocolate and bags of lollies are tempting, they usually contain a high amount of calories and very little nutrition.
Try to opt for homemade, fruit-based sweet treats that are low in calories and offer added nutrition benefits of fibre, calcium and antioxidants.
Here are some examples of low calorie, after-dinner snacks that will hit your sweet spot without ruining your weight loss goals.

Using a small icecream scoop, simply scoop out the flesh of some honeydew, rockmelon and watermelon. Arrange the scoops in a dessert glass or jar and garnish with fresh mint leaves. This simple, easy-to-prepare dessert option is fresh, colourful and filled with nutritional value.
