    Grapes, clementine or if I really want chocolate a sugar free fudge popsicle that is only 40 calories.

    true this. i'm back on a big grated-carrot-with-can-of-pineapple thing right now, but the red peppers and oranges both do it too.

    i'd say dried apricots except i just keep going with them. i have some sweetened dried cranberries in the fridge that have helped me out now and then too.

    Sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream (so I can control the amount of sugar) is my go to if I want a dessert-dessert but still stick to my carb limit (50g).

    Interesting. I don't think of whipped cream as having sugar at all. (We've always whipped it at home and never added any.)

    Agree it's great on fruit.

    I've never had a whipped cream that wasn't sweetened - I didn't know that was a thing! But it makes sense now that I think about it, for the longest while I added cream to my coffee for that touch of sweetness. A tablespoon of sugar and a splash of vanilla extract is what I use in my whipped cream when I make it (which isn't often) but I'll leave it out next time and see what I think.

    This^

    Sugar and vanilla. But it doesn't take much sugar at all (2 Tbl per cup). I saw a cooking show that added quite a bit of sugar not necessary.

    I had a mango the other day that changed my life. It was like eating candy.

    I like to core an apple and fill it with cinnamon, walnuts and raisins. Nuke it soft. You may sprinkle an artificial sweetener on if that's your thing but I find the apple sweet enough.

    I'm really into dried fruits, as well as fresh. Dates are a great sweet tooth fix

    Carrot and pineapple, eh? Haven't tried it - think I need to. Sounds tasty!

    Also dates with a blob of cream cheese (caloric) or ricotta cheese (less caloric), and perhaps an almond or a bit of unsweetened coconut. Add natural orange extract to the cheese for extra yum.

    i love carrots but on their own they can be a little bit . . . idk, either bland or chewy or something. and also almost too sweet. when i was a kid there was always either orange or pineapple chunks to moisten things up and give a little tartness, and i just kept on that way.

    oranges, speaking of. i'm also on a huge kick right now of breaking an orange into segments and then freezing them. room-temperature oranges are kind of meh in my mind, but when they're partially frozen they're one of my favourite things.

    Probably harder to get good oranges up in Canada. I grew up with them growing in my backyard.

    A good way of picking a good orange is to sniff the navel. You can pick up on the quality there.

    ... Now I totally need to freeze orange segments! Fantastic idea!

    I like a peice of fruit (a plum or something sweet and sour) with a little peanut butter.

    Sweet, sour, salt, fat, all in one.

    Some 85% or over dark chocolate or dates are good (just like one or two pieces usually though)
