What's your "Sweet Treat?"

I've eliminated excess sugar from my diet. So far I've lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks just from changing my diet. Though I will not be doing it just yet, I want to know what are some healthy alternatives to having a "treat" but still not loading my body with sugars and/or artificial flavors. I generally try to consume less than 5g of sugar with whatever I eat. Any suggestions?

    Grapes, strawberries and apples have almost completely replaced sugar and candy as my "sweet tooth" snacks. I also am a big fan of the weight watchers fudgsicles. I have some Edy's no sugar added fruit bars in my freezer, but haven't tried them yet. Another thing I tend to consider a "treat" is either some chips and salsa or carrots and Marzetti's fat free ranch dip (I swear, it tastes the same as the full fat dip, LOVE).

    And the ingredients are super simple: dark cocoa, organic cold pressed coconut oil, organic maple syrup, almond flour, sea salt.

    True North's almond, cashew, and pecan nut clusters. Organic sugar (barely) and a whole lot of yumminess.

    ETA . It has a bit more sugar than that, but honestly for a "treat" you shouldnt deprive yourself because its a moderation thing. If you should happen to fall off the wagon, you dont want to binge because you havnt had a truely sweet treat in forever. I eat 5 clusters for 170 calories and all the added benefits of great nuts.

    It might sound a bit odd, but a cup of black tea with lemon juice and Stevia added to taste seems to hit the spot for me :-)
