Low calorie marshmallows (<5 cal)
These marshmallows are so soft and fluffy and are easy to roast! You can make these in to smores with some light crackers and low calorie chocolate, bake them in to low calorie cookies, dip them, or just enjoy as is! These are the perfect low calorie alternative to your regular marshmallow - you could even create flavoured varieties by adding a few drops of flavouring and colouring, or cocoa powder, or raspberry puree.

Cloud bread (10 cal for 5 pieces)
This super easy fluffy cake 'bread' is ideal for eating desserts on a calorie deficit! I like to make a good few batches as they are so great for meal prep in so many ways! You can use this for dipping, for snacking, you can make them sweet or savoury and also use it to make tiramisu, as it contains barely any calories! It is so useful and easy to make with a few simple ingredients that are easy to get hold of and the fluffy, cakey texture is perfect for making desserts such as trifle and parfait desserts - especially tiramisu, as it absorbs the rum/espresso mixture so well!

Chocolate meringue cookies (<10 cal)
These chocolate meringue cookies are perfect for meal prep and go perfectly with fruit, or sandwiched together with a low calorie frosting filling - plus, as they are about the same size of Oreos, you can trick yourself in to feeling satiated, just without the extra calories! You could also use these to make vanilla ice cream into cookies and cream flavour by crushing them up and stirring them in, or you can dip them. I like them with banana and cinnamon sugar!
