hershey kisses, brownies, cookies, m&ms (i prefer peanut butter or coconut but will settle for any of them), i also enjoy eating chocolate covered fruits like cranberries and bing cherries (they pair very well with a nice red)

Skinnycow ice cream sandwiches. Oh yeah...

I would like to give these a try, where can i buy them please?

I know for sure you can buy them at Walmart and Walgreens.

Although Skinnycows are low in calories, they are also FULL of chemicals. They aren't really food, they're more of a lab experiment. I used to eat them and now I don't. I would just go for some real icecream, just a bit. Pleaaaaassee don't put more money into this company's pockets! they are just like those silly weight watchers "snacks" with the mile long ingredient list.


Try this recipe, I use it ALL the time and it TOTALLY satisfies me.
2 frozen ripe bananas
1 tablespoon peanut butter (all natural)
1/4 cup almond/soy/dairy milk
(optional: a tablespoon of cocoa powder)

This makes about 3/4 cup I'd say, and is TOTALLY delicious and full of healthy nutrients!
It tastes almost exactly like real icecream with a hint of banana flavor (Its not gross or overwhelming though)


also, check out www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com and skinnytaste.com. Excellent sites for delicious treats!

Hi Chick

I see you are still using that euphemism "sweet tooth". Why not call it what it REALLY is?

Sugar addiction.

Then the question becomes, "how can I follow a healthy diet AND continue to feed my sugar addiction"?

I tried to do that for years and it never, NEVER worked. In the end I had (very reluctantly) to come out of denial and fess up - I was addicted to sugar and was finding any excuse or justification to keep eating it. (Same thing happens with smokers, drug addicts and alcoholics).

Then I had to go Cold Turkey to get rid of a 50-year sugar addiction. Painful? YES, I won't lie to you. Worth it? Definitely! Am now free of the addiction, and I feel that I have really achieved something. I can follow a diet without continually trying to find ways of adding sugar. PHEW!

Some of those ingredients cause scary side effects. Had to give all of those up a long time ago

One of the posters here engage in a zen-like process of putting one square of chocolate or one piece of Dove chocolate on his/her tongue, closes eyes, lets it melt, concentrates on nothing but that.

I eat a snack size snickers bar (80 calories) or the fun size pack of M&M's (90 calories).

I had a sweet craving yesterday. Had a bowl of organic oatmeal mixed with skim milk, cinammon and artifical sweetner. I know it´s not ideal but filled me up and got rid of the sweet craving.

I LOVE THE NEW FIBER ONE SNACKS, THE CHOCOLATE CHIPS COOKIE BARS, BROWNIE BARS AND THE NEW CHOCOLATE CEREAL TASTES LIKE COCOA PUFFS BUT ONLY 80 CALORIES

Mash up a banana with pb or trader joes cookie butter, looks gross but yummy! Or I heat up some mini chocolate chips and pour a bunch of raspberries over top!.

I'll eat some dark chocolate with cashews.... fills me up, satisfies the sweet craving, and doesn't have a ton of sugar...

I have trouble with too salty or too sweet. Love them both as flavor options but if I go too far to one side my day spirals out of control food wise. For not too sweet sweets I like to keep frozen banana (halves and quarters) on hand one of these dipped in dark cocoa powder will usually hit the spot without spiking my sugar.
I also love this 300 cal dessert
1 Fat free chocolate pudding cup
2 sheets nabisco honey graham crackers
1 navel orange (or 2 clementines)
I like it because it really feels like I have had dessert and leaves me feeling full and satisfied.
I could probably do better if I baked and froze portions of the wonderful recipes I find online but not being lazy is one of the things I am still working on.

1 frozen banana
A few frozen strawberries
1 tbsp skim milk
1 tbsp (or more...) unsweetened cocoa powder

Mix in a food processer until it has the consistency of soft serve ice cream.

Delicious!
