When I want a little sweet treat I make smoothies.
My base is always frozen banana + milk + oats then do one of these:
Cinnamon + vanilla
Pumpkin + pumpkin spice+ brown sugar
Strawberries/blue berries
Cost like under a dollar to make a good cup and they are pretty filling.

Chopped, frozen strawberries in milk. Sometimes with maple syrup. Cream if I’m feeling rich.
Vanilla yogurt with crisp rye bread / tack crumbled into it, with bilberries (forest blueberry). The sour crunchy tack, vanilla and the sweet berries compliment each other nicely.
Oh yes! Yogurt with some crunch and fruit is just SOOO good, and you can get a like $4 tub of yogurt that lets you eat some every day for a week.
It’s either chocolate milk shake or chocolate cake which is relatively cheap near my place 60 for ms and 15-30 rs for cake. But if I feel I need more I get a waffle with white + normal chocolate.
Vegan chocolate chip cookie. I’m not vegan, but cutting dairy completely was a major daily health improvement. Tried it once for a few weeks and never went back.
Oh sick!
I always find joy in the fact that vegan community accidentally made a large infrastructure for people who need to cut out certain animal products.
Find that you can’t eat eggs? Vegans know what replacements work for what purpose.
Milk disagree with you? They have choices!
Happy to hear that it made it easier to cut out dairy for your health!
Marshmallow Creme
just a straight up orange. I fucking love oranges
When i have water to clean up after myself, i just eat it like an apple, fuck eating every slice individually lol
unhinged but i get it
Huge orange fan also. Incredible fruit. Nom nom nom nom nom.
Toast with butter and brown sugar. Super cheap, super good, and basically ingredients almost every household has.
Not sure if this counts as “little” because it has to go into the oven for 45mins… But it’s assembled in under 5 minutes and you can get rid of your old bananas that already turned brown:
Banana bread
4 Bananas, 80ml oil, 80g sugar, 250g flour, 2tsp baking powder, 1tsp vanilla sugar, some chocolate (drops).
Smash the bananas, mix in all the other ingredients to a smooth dough. Find some chocolate from christmas that’s still laying around in the house, smash it too and mix it in.
Bake it at 170°C. Takes 40-50min in a loaf pan. Don’t forget to grase the pan before or use baking parchment.
Adding a splash of heavy cream to my cereal.
Brown soda bread made with buttermilk, still warm from the oven with butter and good cheddar. So comforting. It’s like tasting my childhood again.
Do you have a recipe?
I’m gonna get you the proper measurements etc. tomorrow because it’s very late here but the ingredients are:
400g wholemeal flour
White plain flour, seived (my own preference is about 1/4 but you let your mouth decide from experience)
Baking soda
Pinch of salt
Buttermilk until it’s fairly mushy
Honestly you just lump it all together. Make a circular mound out of it. Criss cross with a knife and lob it in the oven on a floured baking tray at 180C for fan.
I’ll get you a proper recipe in the morning or poke me if I forget. It’s hard to do wrong and I’m not a good baker.
That’s good enough, I can work with that. Thank you!
Here’s a decent one. I was pretty close. :D
I would tend to do 400 / 100 brown to white, no wheatgerm as I said but I do like it it a bit more dense. Higher white flour ratio will have it slightly less dense so up to yourself. It’s technically possible to do with normal milk and baking powder (instead of buttermilk / baking soda) but I would always go with the buttermilk and soda myself.
I also frequently use that recipe and just roll it out and cut scones out of it with a glass or large cutter. They cook faster for hungry kids and have more crust (which I like).
Interested to hear if you do give it a whirl. :)
edit: I had a quick look at your post history and see you’re vegan. Baking powder (probably 2tsp I imagine for the acid + base instead of 1 for just the base when using baking soda) with oatmilk I would imagine would be totally fine. I’m not sure if there are any acidic vegan milks that would be the equivalent of the buttermilk?
In a pinch I have used cows milk, baking soda and a small amount of vinegar or even lemon juice in the milk for raising. Good luck!
Ok I’m vegan so I’ll have to substitute a bit but that’s fine, I can make it work! Thanks.
You can’t just lay that out there without giving us the deets on how to create it ourselves
Here you go. :) Let me know if you give it a whirl!
Hahaha. In a short space I’ve had two folks asking for it.
It honestly couldn’t be simpler. I did reply to the other request with the basics and will get back to you both in the morning as it’s 2am here. :)
Fancy coffee.
One spoonful of peanut butter right off the spoon. Lascivious.
Hint of Lime Tostitos and guacamole. I could eat an entire bag, which is why I rarely buy them.
kinder bueno icecream perhaps?
Cheap popsicles. Relatively low calories (<100 depending on the brand), take a while to eat, and are extremely cheap.
If you make your own you can drive the price and Calories even lower and drive the flavor way up.
Side note: I just learned “popsicle” is the brand name and not a term for the food. Kind of like saying Kleenex instead of tissue. I had no idea, I’ve just always called them popsicles.
The skinny chocolate fudge pops usually hit the spot for me.
The British were right with their Ice Lollies!
Hah crazy how often brands pull this off and we don’t even notice.
But yeah popsicles are good! I now have good memories of making popsicles with like lemonade and strawberries in them in ice cube trays.
I should make some ice cube popsicles…
I’ve been enjoying these Skyr frozen yogurt pops that have only 90 calories and 7g of sugar but they’re still about a dollar each which I feel is a little expensive.
Definitely make your own, if you can stomach the time. You can buy molds online for a cheap initial investment, then just water down some fruit juice.
You can also use real fruit if you don’t mind a chunkier texture and own a food processor already.
You have mecurious now if I could do the same thing with my own skyr and xanthum gum… I might have to do some experimenting.
