    Try this ice cream. http://www.clemmysicecream.com/
    It's sweetened with xylitol. It doesn't raise insulin like Splenda, Sweet N Low, etc. It's great!
    Or try Joesph's sugar free cookies.

    When my sweet tooth starts nagging me, I make an all-fruit smoothie! Sounds silly, but if you pour it into a martini glass, it feels really decadent. :)

    Here's a recipe for my favorite low-cal kind (Serves one):

    • 1/2 cup frozen unsweetened raspberries
    • 1/4 cup chopped banana (I like to keep frozen chopped banana pre-measured in my freezer, but un-frozen works just as well)
    • 1 1/4 cups orange juice (I like lots of pulp for smoothies)

    Blend in a blender, and enjoy! :) This generously-sized smoothie is only about 200 calories.

    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    pinch of salt
    6 T nut milk
    1/2 c goji berries, black currants or raisins

    Directions:

    1. Using a food processor, grind almonds to a flour-like powder.
    2. Add figs or banana, oats, cacao nibs, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and salt and blend again.

    There are literally hundreds of recipes that use applesauce instead of oil, but I'm not aware of using it in place of sugar. At any rate, just be aware that replacing items in baking has a huge impact on texture, how the food rises, etc. You may be better off just eating the applesauce or fruit.

    This is what I eat for a sweet snack. But, only once a week.

    Simply Lite Dark Chocolate at Trader Joe's. The review and calorie info is in the link below.

    Can you use agave or honey...or just the rice sweetener you mentioned. I don't like sweet n low, nutrasweet or splenda, but I have started using stevia because it is derived from a plant and not made of chemicals. Are you allergic to the sweeteners?

    This may be a no-brainer but I really like Jell-O sugar free jellos and puddings -- I generally make them "from scratch," but they come in prepared packages too, of course. I also like sugar free Cool Whip, although corn syrup is somehow one of the ingredients. In any case, very low-cal, low/no sugar dessert.

    Also, I enjoy the Skinny Cow dessert products, and they make sugar-free ice cream sandwiches. My husband thinks they taste chemically (which they do, I guess), but I still think they taste good.

    * I reread the original post and understood it to mean that you can't have sugar or artifical sweeteners - so if that's the case, my suggestions are not helpful, sorry!

    I can't have any sweetners unless they are from a grain or fruit! That is way I can have brown ryce syrup since it's from a grain. I am allergic apparently :(

    Thanks for your suggestions everyone! My diet is kinda wonky at the moment because i can't have sugar or sweetener or corn (corn syrup) or yeast so i am VERY limited. I am allergic to them (I apparently ate them too often and now body doesn't do well with them) Thanks again and any other suggestions are muchly appreciated!
