Can I have one scoop of ice cream on keto?

Since ice cream is generally high in carbs, most of which come from sugar, it typically doesn't fit into a keto diet.

We’ve all been there, right? We all want something at the end of the day to reward us for a job well done. Relax, unwind and satisfy that sweet tooth. It seems like after things have been going well for a while clients want to know how to stay on track at the end of the night. If snacking at night even though you aren’t hungry is something you need to work on, check out this post – How I quit late night snacking and you can too! The 52 Weeks to 52 Healthy Habits challenge is about building healthy habits one week at a time. Therefore, if you are simply looking to replace things like ice cream, chips, or cookies with healthier options then read on! Most people want dessert to be easy. I think part of the appeal of ice cream is you scoop it out of the container and enjoy it immediately. No mess, no fuss, just bliss. The problem with ice cream and other traditional desserts is that they are extremely calorie dense with minimal nutrient value. 1/2 cup clocks in around 300 calories, and who eats 1/2 cup of ice cream only? Think about that 4 spoonfuls of ice cream could cancel out your 30-minute run you were so proud of getting in. #beenthere I like to make sure my dessert has a sweet component as well as protein and/ or healthy fat to help keep me on track. Many of you know my story with counting calories. I don’t actively count calories anymore, but I glad that it taught me to be mindful of high-calorie foods. I’ll still get down on a full fat full sugar awesome cookie, a piece of cake, a bowl of ice cream etc on special occasions. However, for the most part, I keep those foods out of the house. Let’s be honest, I could qualify any day for a special occasion if I wanted to. That doesn’t mean dessert isn’t a regular thing for me, I just like to make sure my everyday dessert has a sweet component as well as protein and/ or healthy fat to help keep me on track. That doesn’t mean dessert isn’t a regular thing for me, I just like to make sure my dessert has a sweet component as well as protein and/ or healthy fat to help keep me on track. The challenge for this week is to start planning desserts into your weekly meal plan, like you would anything else.

20 Healthy Dessert Ideas

Fruit Based:

1. Berries with Nut Butter

Nuke for 20-30 seconds and it’s like pie filling, top with homemade granola if you need a crunch.

2. Coconut Cream Berries

Berries or other fruit topped with a spoonful of canned coconut cream.

3. Baked Nut Butter Apples

Core an apple, plug the whole with oatmeal, spoon in your favorite nut or seed butter (peanut, sunbutter, nutella almond, etc…), place on a sprayed baking sheet and bake on 350 until tender (30-40 minutes).

4. Nutella Stuffed Strawberries

Stuff cored strawberries with Nutella and enjoy! I’ve also stuffed them with peanut butter yogurt dip, which is delicious!

5. Magic Shell Banana Bites

Freeze banana in pieces, mix melted coconut oil (1-2T) with 1T chocolate powder, roll frozen banana in chocolate it will freeze immediately so you can enjoy!

Chocolate:

6. Dark Chocolate Pieces

70% or higher is how you get the most health benefits!

7. Plain Yogurt With Vanilla Stevia topped with Dark Chocolate

Yogurt based desserts are a great way to get a ton of nutrients and stay on track. Stir in a teaspoon of cocoa powder with your yogurt to make it chocolatey or top with chocolate chips. I generally buy low sugar yogurts like plain, chobani naturals or siggis. Sometimes though I splurge for higher sugar varieties and eat them for a dessert. One of my favorites is Trader Joe’s coconut yogurt.

8. Dark Chocolate covered almonds handful

or any flavored nut, there are a million options out there for cinnamon, chocolate or honey roasted nuts! I’m not a huge fan of energy bites throughout the day. To me they are too sweet I will eat them ALL for a snack, but I do like them for a sweet satisfying dessert that is on the healthier side! There are so many recipes out there for healthy brownies made from healthy ingredients like sweet potatoes, beans, bananas and minimal sugar. You just have to be adventurous and find one you really dig!

Filling:

If you are legitimately hungry at night, you may want to go with a higher protein option.

11. Cottage Cheese with fruit

Like brownies, they are a thousand freezer fudge recipes. I make some sort of variety of this every week and eat a small piece after dinner.

13. Mini Protein Shake (other than chocolate flavor)

Just avoid protein shakes with a ton of added vitamins. A high dose of B-Vitamins that are in many post workout protein shakes could keep you up.

14. Chia Pudding or Chia Protein Pudding

Often when I put up a chia pudding recipe I put in the breakfast category. What really ends up happening is I eat half of it for breakfast and half of it for dessert. (Chocolate coconut chia pudding, chia protein pudding, sunbutter chia pudding, Butterfinger chia pudding)

15. Protein cookies

I really love sun butter sweet potato protein cookies for dessert, but again, there are many protein cookie recipes out there. Be adventurous and find the recipe that you love the most!

16. Pumpkin Protein Pudding

I made this several times last fall and never documented it. Mix your favorite sweet protein powder with 1/2 cup of pumpkin, it will give you a delicious sweet pudding consistency.

Other:

17. Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Freeze canned coconut milk into ice cubes, process in a food processor with stevia drops until ice cream consistency

18. Glass of wine

Skipping the glass of wine with dinner avoid adding excess calories by haivng wine and dessert at the same time.

19. Low Sugar Kind Bars or Protein Bars

Remember what you chose at night highly depends on your current goals. If you are trying to manage certain health conditions or lose weight certain options may be better than others. If you feel like you need some direction with this please check out my nutrition services website.

20. Paleo Breads

Paleo bread recipes often use ingredients like coconut or almond flour which are high in protein and healthy fat. I often make paleo bread and eat it for dessert instead of breakfast. They are delicious hot or cold, but I love to heat mine for 20 seconds and top with a sliver of salty Kerrygold butter. A few of my favorites: chocolate cranberry pumpkin mini loaves, coconut almond paleo bread and cinnamon raisin paleo bread.
