Eating fruit is a healthy way to fill your stomach and give your body the nutrients that it needs. Sometimes, however, eating plain fruit can get monotonous. Try spicing up your fruit with a sugar-free fruit dip. This can add variety to your diet but still help you watch your waistline.
Easy Dip #1
Mix one small box of sugar-free instant pudding mix (preferably lemon or vanilla flavored) with 1/2 cup skim milk and keep in the refrigerator until well set. Mix it with one small tub of sugar-free Cool Whip.
Easy Dip #2
In your blender, mix 16 ounces of plain yogurt, one small package of sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix, 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple (drain first), and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract. Once they're well blended, mix them with 1 cup of sugar-free Cool Whip and serve with your fresh fruits.
Easy Dip #3
Mix 6 to 8 ounces of sugar-free yogurt with one 8-ounce package of cream cheese and two packets of Splenda (a sugar substitute). Consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for some extra flavor. This recipe will replace the sugar-laden dip using marshmallow whip and regular cream cheese.
Easy Dip #4
Mix one 8-ounce container of sugar-free vanilla yogurt with one tub of Crystal Light (it comes in packages of two or four tubs). This can provide a variety of flavors depending on the flavor of Crystal Light you choose. They range from lemonade or pink lemonade to tropical passion or banana orange strawberry.
