Ready-for-Dessert Reddi Whip

Posted on January 16th, 2012 by in Dieting

When you’re on a diet, you may cut out desserts as a way to cut sugar, calories and temptation. However, when you deprive yourself of these small pleasures, you put yourself at risk for binging on way more sweet stuff than you otherwise would have. Adding a dollop of Reddi Whip to fruit (or just squirting a bit out of the can!) can be a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth and not break your diet.

Traditional Reddi Whip (not the low-fat, low-cal whatever options) only has 15 calories per serving. Even though a serving is relatively small, you can get away with 2 or 3 servings and not worry about having eaten too many calories. A cup of blackberries has about 60 calories – pair that with a generous amount of whipped cream (3 servings) and you’ll have a tasty dessert that’s just over 100 calories.

A word of advice, though. Don’t confuse Reddi Whip with homemade whipped creams like the kind Starbucks makes. A small dollop of Starbucks whipped cream has at least 100 calories – just for the whipped cream! They use heavy cream and vanilla syrup, so as delicious as it is, it comes with quite a high calorie content.

Remember to check the calories before you buy, but for the most part, whipped cream is an excellent diet dessert that will satisfy your low-cal cravings.
