DESSERTSšŸ°šŸ­šŸ©

šŸŒbanana pancakes! These are such a life saver, especially because of my huge sweet tooth and I hate purging. Ingredients:

-1 small banana (90 calories)

-1 egg (70 calories)

-1 teaspoon vanilla extract: optional (+12 calories)

-Ā½ tbsp cocoa powder: optional (+5 calories)

This makes about 2 small-medium pancakes and will fill you up! (160 calories without cocoa powder and vanilla extract if ur to lazy to do math)

ā„ļøIcey! This one is pretty obvious but not many people think about it. You can pretty much use any type of diet soda for this, I prefer diet coke.

Step 1: freeze diet soda ice cubes

Step 2: blend them in a blender or a snow cone machine

Step 3: put in a snow cone or a bowl

šŸŽcinnamon apples! Omg these are soo freaking good with a cup of green tea and ESPECIALLY amazing for after a fast over 24 hours. Ingredients:

-1 apple (95 calories)

-2 teaspoons cinnamon (12 calories)

-Ā½ tbsp honey: optional (32 calories)

Put the ingredients in a container and shake shake shake!!!

MEALSšŸ”šŸŒ®šŸ„©

šŸ„’salted cucumbers! I literally love these sm for when im super hungry because of how filling they are. Ingredients:

-1 cucumber (8 calories)

-desired amount of salt (0 calories)

šŸÆchia pudding! This could be sweet or savory, if you want it sweet I would reccomend Chefā€™s Quality Zero Calorie Sweetener because it doesnā€™t have that chemical kind of taste you usually get in zero calorie sweeteners, it tastes just like sugar.

-Ā¼ cup chia seeds (160 calories)

-desired amount of water

-pinch of salt

This is definitely more calorie dense so if your having really bad fast symptoms, chia seeds have lots of fiber and will give you alot of energy.

šŸ„¦cauliflower mashed potatoes! I have not yet tried these but Iā€™m definitely making this after my fast. Ingredients:

-1 medium head of cauliflower (140 calories)

-pinch of pepper (0 calories)

-1 tbsp cream cheese (30 calories)

-Ā½ teaspoon minced garlic (3 calories)

-2 tablespoons almond/soy/coconut milk (almond milk: 30, soy milk: 16, coconut: 68)

Around 190 calories totoalā€¦

First, cut the cauliflower into small pieces and cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes and then drain water. Blend the cauliflower, pepper, cream cheese, garlic, and butter. Serve!

I hope this helped because these ana recipes sure help me.
