3 Desserts that are "six-pack abs" friendly

Hi, it's Mike Geary here with another Lean-Body Secrets Ezine from

I don't know about you, but I have always had a serious sweet tooth! No
joke... when I was a kid growing up, my mom would bake a batch of
brownies and I would eat the entire tray in 1 day!

I could get away with that as a teenager because I probably burned
about 5000 cals/day playing sports outside all day.

One of the things I had to learn to conquer over the years as an adult
was to keep my sweet tooth under control so I wouldn't turn into the
typical 30-something guy with the beer belly.

My plan of attack to conquer the sweet tooth...
------------------------------------------------------------

What worked for me to beat my sweet tooth was the use of a large
variety of fruits and also super-dark chocolate, and using creative
variations of both.

A piece of fruit, a frozen fruit & protein smoothie, or a couple small
pieces of dark chocolate has totally done the trick to keep my sweet
tooth in check, and has allowed me to stay super-lean over the years
while still enjoying my sweets in small amounts.

Here are my 3 favorite desserts that help me to keep the calories under
control while also satisfying my sweet tooth. I pretty much use a
variation of these almost every day for dessert.

1. Two or 3 small squares of super-dark chocolate (minimum of 70-75%
cocoa content... if less than 70%, usually too much sugar)

2. Frozen banana/chocolate blender ice cream:

This is more of an ice cream consistency rather than a smoothie. I put
1 frozen ripe banana chunked into a blender with 1/3 cup milk, 2 tbsp
non-sweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of
stevia to sweeten. 1/2 scoop of protein powder is optional too.

Blend it all together to an ice cream consistency. This is a much
healthier lower-calorie, lower-sugar alternative to ice cream, and still
delicious!

I get my stevia from the following site...

3. I just got hooked on these tasty treats recently... the Prograde
Cravers Peanut Butter flavor is out of this world, and 100% organic, with
dark chocolate and other healthy ingredients... it makes the perfect
healthy dessert or snack during the day without an overload of
calories... only 180 calories.

I ordered my Peanut Butter Prograde Cravers from...

(Prograde Cravers are only available for the time being in the US and
Canada)

I hope you enjoy these healthier "six pack" friendly dessert ideas!

Til next ezine issue... Don't be lazy, be lean.
