I have a mega sweet tooth- ice cream and baked goods are my weakness! Since I made a conscious decision to eat better, I just have to be more mindful about the treats I'm eating! I eat dessert every day- usually just a healthier dessert! And I usually splurge once a week on a real, goodness fatty fatty fat pants dessert. It's all about balance, right?
I usually always have Halo Top ice cream, Enlightened ice cream sandwiches or bars, Yasso bars, or Oreo thins stocked! (Not all at once...but there's always SOME thing healthier to choose from around here! It's how I stay sane.) Here are some of my favorite lower calorie treat options:

Frozen Key Lime Pie Bites
For the crust:
- 5 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup raw walnuts
- 1/3 cup raw oats
For the filling:
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 scoop or packet key lime pie or vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Place cupcake liners into a 6-count cupcake tin. Set aside.
Add the dates, walnuts and oats to a
food processor and process until well combined and looks like coarse
sand. It should feel sticky between your fingers. Once ready, place
about a ping pong ball size of crust mixture into the bottom of each
cupcake liner and flatten out with your fingers so it covers the bottom
like a crust (it should be well packed). Set aside.
In a small bowl, add the softened
cream cheese, yogurt, protein powder, lime juice and honey. Mix well
with a whisk until smooth.
Scoop out the filling and place
evenly into each cupcake tin. Place tin in the freezer for an hour or
until ready to eat, allowing 5 minutes to thaw. Store leftover tarts in
the freezer.

These come in higher at 9 WW Smart Points a square, because they have higher fat ingredients like nuts and coconut oil- but because they are all natural, whole ingredients I'm totally okay with that!
