Substitute for Yogurt

So it is day two of my non-diet and I am still in good spirits about eating healthy. Last night I had a minor setback when I tried to make a Cooking Yourself Thin recipe for Chocolate Brownies with Raspberries and White Chocolate Chips. I was sure that this would be one of my favorite recipes, but mine were not even edible. The recipe uses butternut squash to replace a lot of the sugar, but what I ended up with was a gooey mess that tasted like butternut squash. After that, I felt like breaking out a pint of ice cream, but I restrained myself and had a couple of m&ms instead.

This morning, I was eager to try my honey-wheat English muffins, but then realized that I really didn't have anything to put on them. So instead, I opted for a Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Rice Pudding. I am not a big fan of yogurt - never have been. So instead of making myself eat something I hate, I opted for a healthy alternative. Kozy Shack also makes a rice pudding with fruit (also no sugar added) which I would love to try but they didn't have any at the grocery store I went to. I will have to hunt around for it; they have Strawberry Guava and Blueberry Pomegranate.
For lunch today I will be eating a leftover portion of the salmon from last night (yum) and I have 100 calorie snack packs for a snack. I also wanted to mention that I have eliminated all soda and iced tea (especially McDonald's Sweet Tea) from my diet and have replaced it with Crystal Light. My drink of the moment is Mango Peach Iced Tea - only 5 calories per serving!
