how can a sweet be made without sugar or honey (which are high calorie ?)
using artificial sweeteners like (zero sugar) will make sweets taste not good
best way is eat all sweets and workout well

may be u added more milk
other than some carrot juice and milk there\'s no other liquid here that can make it watery
-
