Main conclusions

Diet candies are an excellent alternative to store-bought sweets. They are lower in calories, more natural and healthy:

1. When buying a product in a store, you must carefully read the ingredients. Preservatives, flavors and dyes should be present in sweets in a minimum amount.
2. The lowest-calorie candies are jelly candies with a natural nipple.
3. When choosing between caramel and dark chocolate treats, nutritionists recommend choosing the latter, despite their higher calorie content.
4. Most homemade candies require no baking and are easy to make.
5. At home, you can make sweets from cottage cheese, dried fruits, nuts, oatmeal and fruit puree.

Tasty and safe sweets, prepared with your own hands, will brighten up any diet. The main thing is to remember about moderation and the correct time to consume any dietary sweets.

Homemade PP candy recipes

Curd coconut candies

Original and tasty diet sweets can be made from cottage cheese. Despite its recognized benefits, many people do not like cottage cheese in its pure form. To remedy the situation, you can make homemade sweets from cottage cheese.

1. For PP sweets, it is better to take low-fat cottage cheese. Pasty cottage cheese has a uniform consistency, but does not hold its shape well and is too liquid. If you want the candies to be homogeneous, the grainy cottage cheese must be rubbed through a fine sieve.
2. To give sweets a sweet taste without using sugar, you need to take a ripe soft banana. Peel, mash with a fork or grind in a blender. Product ratio: 200 g cottage cheese – 1 banana.
3. Mix banana puree with 4 tbsp. l. coconut flakes and cottage cheese. Roll small balls from the resulting mass. Roll each of them in coconut flakes and put them in the refrigerator for several hours.

Homemade Raffaello

Many people like Raffaello sweets, with delicate cream and nuts. You can prepare an analogue of this delicacy with your own hands. The base will also be cottage cheese or curd pudding.

1. Peel and pour boiling water over the almonds for 15 minutes. Drain the water and dry the nuts in a dry, hot frying pan. The amount of almonds directly depends on the desired amount of sweets.
2. Mix 200 g of cottage cheese with 2 tsp. liquid honey. If the honey is too viscous, it needs to be heated in a water bath. Depending on the consistency of the cottage cheese, the amount of honey may vary. The result of mixing should be a sticky mass.
3. Wet your hands with cold water. Take an almond and form a curd and honey ball around it. The size of the candies is arbitrary.
4. Roll each ball in coconut flakes and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

How to make healthy candies with your own hands?

Diet sweets can be made from a wide variety of products that fit into the diet of a person.

They make delicious dietary candies from chickpeas, oatmeal, dried fruits and nuts, and you can’t do without cottage cheese .

By combining various products, supplementing them with honey, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, you can obtain new flavors and aromas.

Fitness candies work well with proteins in various flavors, which can be purchased in sports and diet food stores.

Dietary sweets "Coffee"

This recipe is a godsend for coffee lovers. If you are against instant coffee, you can make a very strong brewed one. Then you will need to replace the milk with it.

Nutritional value per 100 g:

1. Calories: 350
2. Proteins: 17
3. Fats 22

Preparation:

Chop the nuts. But not too small, so that you can feel the pieces in the candy.

Place the resulting “dough” on a bag, give it the desired shape and put it in the refrigerator for a day.

Cut the settled deliciousness into rectangles and serve with tea or coffee.

For a rich taste with a refined bitterness, add coffee to COM. For a milder taste of candy, first stir the coffee in milk, and only then add it to the COM. The taste of candy is very different in both cases - choose the one that suits you best!

PP candies made from dried fruits and nuts

You can add dried bananas, figs, dried apples, and dried cranberries to the recipe. Ground slices of dried lemons or oranges will add piquancy to the candies.

Creamy pp-candies “Korovka”

And here is a video recipe for unusual sweets based on som - skim milk powder. It’s somewhat reminiscent of jellies, but it’s still candy:

The powerful effect of dried fruits on the human body

At one time, I myself had a terrible sweet tooth, which, coupled with stress, led me to my current status as a “sweet woman,” that is, a diabetic. I wrote about the difficult choice of the right fructose here.

I don’t wish such a fate for my dear grandchildren, but I want them to eat only good food, including desserts.

Benefit

So what are the healing properties of dried fruits, if it would seem that all the “benefits” in them are “dried”, and is it necessary to eat them in principle?

It turns out that it is necessary, and absolutely! After all, they strengthen the immune system and cardiovascular system, have a beneficial effect on the intestines, they contain a lot of vitamins, which are in concentrated form, which increases their usefulness.

Dried fruits contain fiber, which has a beneficial effect on metabolism and gives an impetus to digestive processes; fructose and glucose, and these are carbohydrates given to us by nature itself; more minerals than fresh fruit (the only thing that is not retained is vitamin C)

.

Let's look at the features of those that will be mentioned today in the methods of preparing our delicacies.

Dried apricots

• women during pregnancy for better fetal formation,
• for nursing mothers, so that the milk is nourishing and nutritious,
• children to saturate their growing bodies with all the substances necessary for the normal functioning of vital processes.

Figs

: dried fruits of the fig tree
(fig tree)
, which are known to us from Biblical legends. Its medicinal qualities are very high compared to other fruits.

Doctors prescribe it as an additional remedy for the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system, anemia, for the prevention of diabetes and cancer, and high blood pressure.

• nursing mothers to improve lactation and nutritional value of milk,
• pregnant women, if the due date has arrived and there are no contractions yet, to help the birth of the child (but in no case throughout pregnancy, since dates cause uterine contractions).

Harm

There are several factors that need to be taken into account.

Firstly

, this is a very high-calorie food and should be eaten in small quantities, especially for people with increased weight. All the benefits will come to naught if you abuse the amount of delicacy eaten. The recommended amount for a healthy person is 3-10 pieces per day.

Secondly

, the drying process itself. Previously, fruits were dried in a shaded, well-ventilated place, but now this happens on an industrial scale in specialized dehydrators using hot air and infrared radiation.

Some manufacturers, in order to get results faster, sometimes do this with the use of chemicals and dyes. Therefore, it is necessary to learn how to choose high-quality dried fruits.

Third

, it is important to properly prepare the fruits for eating, that is, fill them with hot water for a while and then rinse them in running water. It is not recommended to eat them without such preparation.

Fourth

, people on a diet, diabetics and anyone who is concerned about their health should eat no more than 1-2 pieces per day.

And those who suffer from allergies, asthma, urolithiasis or gastrointestinal disorders do not need to look at them at all.

Truffle

You will need:

• Walnuts – 500 g
• Chocolate dates – 300 g
• Banana – 1 pc.
• Carob – 150 g + 25 g (cocoa substitute)
• Honey - 3 tbsp. l. (take a thick, but not aromatic option. Buckwheat honey is not suitable)

Preparation:

To make these healthy candies, you will need carob, a cocoa substitute. You can buy it at any vegetarian or organic food store. What’s nice is that the prices for this product are not high. By the way, when you decide to buy it, you will probably be faced with a choice: buy roasted or raw carob. For vegetarian desserts, the fried version is usually used, but if you follow a raw food diet, choose “untouched” raw carob. The remaining ingredients are less exotic, so let's get to it!

1. First grind the nuts into “flour”. Mix it with carob (150 grams). In a separate bowl, use a blender to blend the banana and dates into a smooth paste. Add honey and mix all the ingredients thoroughly so that you get a fairly dense mass that is easy to shape into the desired shape.
2. Scoop up a full teaspoon of the prepared truffle mass (you can add a heap) and make a ball the size of a small walnut. Roll the future truffle in carob.
3. Place the finished candies in the refrigerator for a couple of hours - and then you can start tasting!

The first thing to do is to thoroughly chop the nuts and dried apricots. You can use raw nuts, since we will still bake our candies a little. Add all other ingredients to the chopped nuts and dried apricots and mix thoroughly. You need to bake the sweets in the oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Truffle sweets

• Walnuts – 500 g

Protein candies

You can also make pp candies using protein. Such sweets will not only be healthy, but also rich in protein.

• 70 grams of dates. Since dates themselves are very sweet, we do not need sugar or a sweetener.
• 15 grams of peanut butter.
• 25 grams of protein. It's good to use chocolate flavored protein.
• A little ground almonds. One teaspoon will be enough.
• 1 teaspoon of water. If the mass is a little dry, you can add a little water so that the candies stick together well.

If you love marzipan, then you will definitely like marzipan candies.

So, you will need:

• 250 grams of marzipan. In order to get marzipan, you will need to take almonds, pour hot water over them and leave for one minute. Then drain the hot water and add cold water. The almond shell will begin to peel away from the nut on its own, and you will be able to peel them easily. After this, put the nuts on a napkin and dry them slightly. Grind the almonds into the finest crumbs - and our candy base is almost ready.
• 3 quail eggs. We will use only proteins
• 5 ml rum.
• A little vanilla.
• Natural sweetener. In this recipe we will use agave syrup.
• 10 grams of natural cocoa.

So, add quail egg whites, rum, agave syrup and vanillin to the almond mixture. Mix thoroughly. Form small balls and roll each ball in cocoa. PP candies are ready!

PP candies Bird's milk on agar-agar

You can make light and dietary sweets using skim milk. This will be an excellent replacement for your favorite Bird's Milk candies.

• 200 ml milk. We use low-fat milk with 1% fat content. 100 grams of this milk contains only 30-35 calories.
• 3 eggs. We will only use whites, so carefully separate them from the yolk to make it easier for you to beat them.
• 2 teaspoons agar-agar. This natural product contains no calories at all, but is rich in pectin.
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
• Any sweetener of your choice.
• 200 ml cold water. We will need it to prepare the glaze.
• 4 teaspoons cocoa. Here we are talking about natural cocoa without added sugar. It’s good if it’s also low-fat.

Add 1 teaspoon of agar-agar and sweetener to the milk and place on the stove. While the milk is heating, we beat the whites to stiff peaks. As soon as your milk has boiled, remove it from the stove and slowly add it to the whites, constantly whisking the milk mixture with a mixer. If desired, you can add any dried fruits to the resulting soufflé. Place pp candies into molds.

Now let's prepare the glaze for diet sweets. To do this, add agar-agar, sweetener and cocoa to 200 ml of water, mix everything and put on fire. The glaze should boil for about a minute, after which we remove it and pour over our pp candies!

PP sweets recipes (simple)

How and where to store dried fruits

This should be done in a cool, dark place so that they are not exposed to sunlight, each type separately, preferably in hermetically sealed food containers. It’s absolutely great if it’s in a glass or ceramic container.

Because each type has its own unique aroma and different permissible humidity.

Typically, all dried fruits are stored for about six months, raisins are the champion in terms of shelf life, reaching 1 year. The temperature should not exceed +20 degrees Celsius. If you put this beauty in the freezer, then it will last 18-20 months.

From the above, we can conclude that the best way to preserve our vitamin-rich treats is a refrigerator, more specifically a shelf for storing vegetables and fruits, or a freezer for those who like to buy for future use.

And yet, sometimes go through your “treasures”, throwing out those that have at least slightly spoiled without any pity, so that the rest remain healthy and edible.

Milk jelly

. Pour the milk into the pan and let it boil. When this happens, dissolve gelatin in this liquid, then add sweetener and vanillin. Pour the milk mixture onto a baking sheet - it should form a layer approximately 1.5-2 cm thick. To allow the jelly layer to harden, put the product in the refrigerator for an hour. Then cut the finished jelly into candies of any shape and dip each in glaze - chocolate melted in a water bath. Keep the treat in a cool place for another half hour.

• quinoa porridge - 60 g
• peanut butter - 150 g

Next add honey and cinnamon and mix again. When the mixture is ready, roll into balls and roll them in coconut. Place the candy in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Secrets of pp-sweets

If the recipe contains nuts, seeds, peanuts, then it is better to first fry them in a dry frying pan - this will make the candies more flavorful.
