One universal truth in the land of kids these days is a love for sweets and anything that tastes sweet. Is there such a thing as having a sweet -- but nutritious -- kids' snack or dessert?

You betcha -- because high fat content and calorie loading doesn't have to come at the expense of taste or kids' preference for sweetness.

There are some great (and tasty) dessert choices for kids discussed over at The Diet Channel, and my favorite one is the substituting of ice cream for frozen yogurt. This is probably the easiest change of all for many kids, and the fat content drop alone makes it especially useful for the concerned parent.
