    Bananas drizzled with chocolate or honey
    Chocolate covered almonds (150 for a small pack...look for healthy harvest brand at Walmart in produce section where they have trail mix,etc)
    frozen grapes
    smoothies made with un-sweetened almond milk (use the 30 calorie per cup)
    Cobani Flips (I love the Coco Loco-240 cals but it's like eating dessert)

    These are all a little high in calories but they are so good and healthy!

    Hi. When you say healthy do you mean nutritious or low calorie. Not trying to nit pick but I know different people mean different things in this respect.

    If it's chocolate you're after go for a good quality, minimum 70% cocoa (make sure sugar isn't the first ingredient) and let a small piece melt on the back of your tongue. If you're not used to dark chocolate it will take a little getting used to but if you eat it like this you get all of the flavour and you'll get the cocoa hit so won't need so much.

    Good luck!

    Jello - I use the boxed gelatin packages - stepped fruity herbal tea for my flavoring and a touch of Stevia and maybe even a splash of coconut extract.

    Dark cocoa is only around 10 calories - mixed with a bit of water and some Stevia - drizzle on top of fruit, oatmeal, etc.,

    Roasted chickpeas - lightly spray chickpeas with oil - mix them with a touch of honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg or even cayenne pepper, and salt.

    Pavlova is good too - it's basically egg whites whipped up with sugar (I've subbed in Stevia here too) and serve with berries and a drizzle of the dark cocoa drizzle is good too.

    Greek yogurt with a touch of honey and berries is yum too!

    Check out Chocolate Covered Katie - she has lots of low, innovative recipes

    Blend dates, cashew nuts, cacao powder in food processor and form into balls, leave in fridge overnight. Can add any other dried fruits or nuts or super foods you like.

    Blend banana, add any dried fruits, nuts or seeds, add to mixture oats, honey or maple syrup, then press into a tray & leave in fridge or freezer to form, cut into bars.

    Blend oats, dates and almond butter in food processor with a little water, add to base of jar and squash down, then blend a frozen banana and any fruit and add to the jar. Leave in fridge overnight. Add any toppings you like.

    Berries berries berries. I have an extreme weakness for sweets but I've found that any of blue, straw or rasp berries satisfy that craving and for negligible calories. Add a dollop of whipped cream or preferably Greek yogurt if you like. Works for me.

    A smaller portion of what you really want. I find that I'm better off just having a single ice cream bar (portion controlled) rather than try to dig up something healthy. A 230 calorie ice cream treat (I have Heath Klondikes now) is the same or less calories than a lot of the 'healthy' foods listed here (things like nuts and fruit add up)
