Pecan & Sweet Potato Pie
This recipe puts a spin on traditional pecan pie, making it healthier, and still just as delicious. The sweet potatoes and dates bind the rest of the ingredients together to really lock in all the flavors.
This dessert uses whole, healthy ingredients, but keep in mind that it’s still an indulgent treat meant to be consumed on special occasions. If you’re doing one of our programs and seeking maximum results, this probably is not the recipe for you. If you’re just trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, this is the type of thing you should eat once or twice a week at most – and even then at the recommended serving size.

Peppermint Martini. This is perhaps the simplest and tastiest low-calorie cocktail out there. Just three ingredients and a bit of candy cane. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

- 3 oz. fat-free condensed milk
- Ice
- 6 miniature candy canes
Place all liquids in a martini shaker with ice. Shake and pour into glasses. Garnish each with a candy cane. Makes 6 servings.
Holiday Hot Chocolate. You can obviously buy no-sugar-added hot chocolate in packages and do this the easy way. But you’re no slacker. You can make homemade hot chocolate instead, which makes your house smell amazing and impresses your friends and family.
- 4 cups evaporated fat-free milk
- 1 cup fat-free milk
- 1/2 cup baking chocolate
- 2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar (or use 1/3 cup agave)
- 6 oz. Frangelico® liqueur
- 6 miniature candy canes
