A cool and easy, low calorie dessert was a perfect choice.  We are having a heat wave in California and I was looking for a cool dessert, preferably a low calorie one. I made some orange jello and wanted to dress it up a bit. I had some applesauce, so added some to the dish along with the jello. The combination was refreshing and tasty, plus it was easy to make. I used sugar free gelatin and unsweetened applesauce, so it made for a healthy, low calorie dessert. Just, what I’d been looking for.

Root beer and milkI definitely have a sweet tooth, and sometimes I just need something sweet. This is a recipe, that I think I invented, and it certainly satisfies my craving. It’s low in calories as well.

Ingredients

Root Beer and Milk

That’s it

Simply pour root beer into a glass and add four ounces of milk. Stir and enjoy.

I use diet root beer and non fat milk, but you can vary that if you wish.

It tastes like a melted root beer float, and I love it.

I hope you’ll give it a try.
