For a lot of people the holidays mean parties, gifts, ugly sweaters and a few extra pounds going into the new year. It’s kind of hard not to stuff your face for the entire month of December because of all the temptations put in front of us. All the office parties, the cookie swaps, the holidays dinners – it’s very difficult to be healthy this time of year.
But, if you are someone who is trying to not overdo it this winter, I have a little treat for you. My friend Arielle, from @ariellesays (who has lost OVER 100 POUNDS!) and I came up with a little something sweet that is delicious, satisfying and only 5 Smart Points.
They are really easy to make, and make a great end to a holiday meal (without expanding the waistline). If you want to reduce the points even more, you can use Truvia Brown Sugar for a total of 4 Smart Points per serving, or you can cut the filling in half (I really pilled it on there, for reference).
