Low Calorie Japanese Noodle Salad

Silky low calorie shirataki noodles give way to crunchy, salty bacon. Cucumbers, tomatoes and Japanese omelet provide more fun for the palate. Fresh grated ginger in the soy-sesame dressing zaps the taste buds awake.

The low-fat chocolate milk in this cupcake keeps the cake light. Despite the double dosage of chocolate milk into chocolate cake mix, surprisingly the sponge is not tooth aching sweet. Strong green tea matcha cream adds a bitter but pleasant layer of contrast and yumminess!

Cherry Blossom Cupcakes

With a cake crumb as soft as the petal of a cherry blossom, this cupcake is a cause for celebration. The not-so-sweet frosting base is whipped cream cheese complements the sweet cake perfectly.
