    have something healthy.


    try Pumpkin with some crushed nuts and cinnamon mixed in. sweeten with a bit of Stevia.

    Mix Dark cocoa with some vanilla protein powder and a bit of evaporated milk to form a sauce. Use that as a dip for sliced apples or some other fruit!

    I LOVE ice cream and it is my BIGGEST weakness. To curb the craving for it I do this:

    Freeze bananas
    Slice them
    put in food processor with a tablespoon or two of almond milk

    Comes out like soft serve! Sometimes I will add in a touch of peanut butter.....chocolate chips...or both! It is a super yummy treat and healthy too!

    I've been working at curbing mine: cup of decaf coffee, 1/2 tsp sugar in the raw (avoid artificial sweeteners if you can, they can skyrocket your sweet tooth) & a square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate seems to work. The chocolate curbs a sweet tooth while aiding digestion & the coffee leaves the bitter taste so I really don't want to eat.

    Late at nite I'm not afraid of the dark... it's the cookie monster I'm afraid of...

    I love this guy. Try this one out. If not, he has a whole bunch of other sweet recipes including cookies to make from scratch. All healthy high protein low carbs.

    Yup. I drink Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea. It destroys my sweet cravings and it's sugar free.

    I agree with the low-cal hot chocolate. Here's how you should make it tho:

    1-2 cups of low/skim milk
    1tbsp or so of cocoa powder
    sweetener (stevia, honey, splenda, or none)
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    mmmmmm

    it tastes good if you sprinkle cinnnamon on too.

    Another healthy snack is apple and cinnamon with a little sugar

    There are lots of healthy snacks on google and pinteerest. Email me if you want more help, I am exactly the same as you!

    Fiber one 90 calorie brownies :). YUM

    I also like to cut up an apple and a banana and snack on that.

    Sometimes I take Choban Greek Yogurt (flavored) and mix a cut up banana in it. They even have a chocolate yogurt <sinful> :)

    Never grilled fruit - I assume it is pretty good? How long? What do you put on it if anything at all? Just curious. Sounds like a great idea!!

    Of all things... when I bake Toll House chocolate chip cookies, I freeze them after they've cooled. One frozen cookie is about 130 calories. It has chocolate and sugar and tastes wonderfully sweet, it's cold so I don't want ice cream afterwards, and it's a little crunchy too so I don't want chips/crackers! Simple, tasty, and I don't feel like I need to eat everything I've baked "before it goes bad" either.

    Try the 321 cake recipe to help with the cravings. It has helped me when i NEED cake. All you do is get a box of angel food cake, and your favorite flavor of cake (chocolate, strawberry, white etc..), and empty those into a Ziploc bag. Shake them up really good and you have your mix ready. Now you make your cake. 3 tablespoons of mix, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 minute in the microwave. I make mine in a coffee mug. Be sure and mix the ingredients together well enough that they look frothy in the mug. I also have sliced up strawberries and drizzled 1/2 of teaspoon of hershey chocolate syrup to add some extra flavor. I got this recipe from another MFP user. Hope it helps!
