Scrape the black seeds from the cardamom pods and grind to a powder. Tip into the mango mix along with the orange zest and mix well.
If using the egg white , whisk until stiff and fold into mango mix.
put into the freezer and mix a few times before it freezes to prevent hard crystals forming.
let it soften for about 20 mins before eating. Can also squeeze the flesh from half a passion fruit on top with some orange zest.

One of my favorite 'dieting' desserts is sugar-free jell-o made with diet rite soda instead of the cold water. Diet rite makes so many flavors, you can match them up to the type of jell-o you are making - kiwi strawberry is my favorite, but there are a lot of choices.
Top it with Cool-whip free and it is a tasty treat!

kakaroto
Peanut pudding thingie:
200G cottage cheese
1/4cup skim milk
2tsp splenda
3tsp natty PB
Blend it all together and whack that baby in the freezer for around 2-3 hours.
Fan freakin tastic stuff, I used to hate CC but now I look forward to it every night.
Another alternative if you dont want all the PB fat is to throw in a tsp of vannila essence, in place of the PB, kinda tastes a little like cheese cake but I still prefer PB.

Throw these in a blender: ½ cup cottage cheese, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, a dash of spenda, 1 cup of ice, ½ cup water. Blend for 30 seconds, open the lid, throw in 1 oz. walnuts, and chop for a few seconds. It tastes like an ice cream dessert, no kidding.

This looks pretty tasty:
Heavenly Lemon Mousse
Phase 1
Makes 6 servings (1/2 cup each)
Making mousse is not hard, but you do have to watch the mixture carefully as it cooks, since it thickens quickly. Phase 2 and 3 diners can top with fresh seasonal berries.
Ingredients:
6 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
3/4 cup Splenda® or sugar substitute
1 tablespoon lemon peel (from 1 large lemon)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 1/2 cups South Beach Diet®-approved whipped topping
Instructions:
1. In medium stainless steel saucepan over medium heat, combine yolks, whole eggs, Splenda®, peel, and juice. Cook 4 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened to a custard consistency.
2. Remove from heat; pour into medium bowl and refrigerate until cold (about 30 minutes). Just before serving, fold in whipped topping until combined and lightened. Spoon into serving bowls.

Does anyone know of a site with great healthy recipes, but also the nutritional info aw well? Most of the ones I use don't include this, and until I found this site, I NEVER watched my fat grams or caloric intake...I have no idea what a cup of milk or a turkey sandwich offers me!!! Any suggestions?
============
Quoting from asimmer:
MMMM.
Mix1/2 to 1c fat=free or low fat Ricotta cheese with 3 tbsp cocoa powder and 3 tbsp splenda, blend well.
Eat.
Add expresso powder if desired. or vanilla extract.
I also have mixed my ricotta with General mills International sugar-free vanilla cafe au lait.
Any sugar-free cocoa powder would bve good mixed in.

There are some sites where you can enter recipes and it calculates the nutrients, etc. Try doing a googl;e search and see what comes up, I have played with afew of them, but find it tedious.
You can figure out what is in your food by reading the packages and doing a little math, or there are lots of sites where you can enter ingredients seperately and track it that way, this one included, fitday.com is one also.
I have been trying to include amounts/nutrient breakdown in my more recent posts, sometimes I forget...or am too lazy

Just made this tonight and thought it was a pretty healthy/tasty snack. Take a can of tuna ( I use albacore, i think it tastes better) drain the water then season with a dash of low sodium salt, pepper, and some lemon juice. Next put on a Ritz cracker, top it with a thin slice of a jalapeno pepper and a small thin piece of chedder cheese (made with 2% milk) and throw in toaster oven till it melts and eat.
