Sorbets and sherbets made from sugar are sweet and not as bad as traditional ice cream.<BR/><BR/>Lemonade: well, even 100% juice can have a lot of sugar. If you want something refreshing on a hot day, you'll have to stick with the lemonade, but you could squeeze it yourself, but that's time consuming and you'll still have to add a sweetener!<BR/><BR/>Dip: Well, my favorites are creamy poppyseed and southwest veggie dip, so I'm afraid that's not much better for your kiddos and you! :)<BR/><BR/>PS: back from the Coral Sea yesterday.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947785225558539396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629380092675384637.post-50383988458684469312008-03-18T15:22:00.000-05:002008-03-18T15:22:00.000-05:00For juice, we like the 100% juice from Aldi.

We only have it sparingly and it tends to be the chocolate and the ice cream.

You can get it at Costco for a better price if you have one near you. But in it is a full serving of fruits AND a full serving of vegetables and it's delicious. And if you get the V-Fusion light, it's only 50 calories for 8 oz!! We also do Juicy Juice for the girls, so I agree with "Trevsmom."<BR/><BR/>For desserts, sometimes we do the sugar free jello and cool-whip free (sugar free and fat free), and sometimes put fruit in it - berries, peaches, etc.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and for dippers, have you looked at the Ken's Steakhouse Honey Mustard? We *love* that stuff around here!<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Jenni S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16053221456990941893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629380092675384637.post-86030767494294741432008-03-17T09:43:00.000-05:002008-03-17T09:43:00.000-05:00Growing up we always had pudding as a dessert.

Sometimes we do the whole grain bumble bee grahm things, a special K bar or honey grahm rice cakes. <BR/><BR/>The only thing we have done with syrup is gone to the light version. <BR/><BR/>Juice: We love Juicey Juice. My sister get the Meijer version for way cheaper and just as good of ingredients.....and NO hight furctose corn syrup. I have just tried Light Grape Juice with Trev too. I dilute it like 7/8 water to 1/8 juice and he really likes it. Anyhow I don't know why I keep rambling, we can talk more about this. :-)trevsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109823746852567863noreply@blogger.com
