For example, instead of pecan pie, choose an apple, an orange, or some strawberries. You can make the apple more appealing by dipping slices of it in peanut butter, which is great because of the protein in it. The orange can be put in a smoothie with orange sherbet, and you can also put bananas and strawberries in orange smoothies as well.
