    My sweet tooth cravings are often chocolate related, so I keep various Snackwells 100 calorie packs on hand. I love the chocolate drizzles chocolate chip cookies, the mint chocolate cookies, and both the chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels.

    I also keep Greek yogurt with fruit in the fridge.

    chocolate is my weakness. If I have a bag or container of anything chocolate or baked goods, I'll eat it all.
    Lately I've been eating Quest chocolate chip cookie dough protein bars when temptation strikes.

    Those are amazing and have saved me from indulging quite a bit! I usually have 1/2 - 1 serving as an afternoon snack.

    I love Swiss Miss Diet hot chocolate ! It is only 25 calories!! One cup usually does the trick but I'll have another if I am still craving chocolate. It got me through the winter, I may have to turn up the air conditioner to drink it this summer.

    My favorite is Vitatops. You'll find them in the freezer section with the whole food type foods. They're muffin tops. The chocolate is my favorite; it's 90 calories. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so and it's like warm chocolate cake. The best!!!

    Frozen grapes or blueberries are often recommended to satisfy a sweet craving.

    There is a recipe on the Mad Chemist website for chocolate brownies made with black beans. It is fabulous. I did work out the calories once by adding up all the ingredients and then dividing that number by the number of servings. I forget how many calories but I do remember that it's reasonable and it's a good source of fiber as well. I have frozen them and had them cold.
    Also, frozen grapes. It takes a while to eat them and they are sweet.
    Fake apple pie- I put unsweetened applesauce with a bit of Stevia and cinnamon in a pita and heat it a bit.
    Gala apple with 2 of those Laughing Cow Light triangles of cheese.
    Dairy Queen has fudgicicles and creamsicles for under 100 cal.
    Hope this eases the sweet tooth.

    Oddly enough, since I started drinking homemade smoothies with Kale, my sweet tooth has DRAMATICALLY decreased.
    About 2 weeks after consistantly having my smoothie in the am, I found a chart that said "missing this, eat this" found here:

    I was suprised and happy to learn that besides health benifits, Kale has helped me curb the sweets :)

    Dark chocolate - 70% or higher

    Knocks any sweet-tooth out with just a small amount. I get the Ghiradelli squares. One square is always enough for me.

    For my sweet tooth I usually do one of the following they are weird but hey they work for me. Hope this helps you. And omit anything you don't like and be creative.
    You can try to eat a serving of dried prunes
    Or a serving of raisins with 1 toasted whole or ½ a whole wheat bread and top it off with 1 tablespoon of agave raw honey and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract , and 1 tablespoon of almond peanut butter.
    Or another choice 1 graham cracker topped with 1 tablespoon of low fat cool whip a serving of marshmallows and a dash of cinnamon and 1 table spoon of agave nectar raw honey .
    Or another option eat an apple sliced up with cinnamon
    Or 1/2 cup of light and fit vanilla yogurt

    Yes! I drink this too. I usually have 2 packets & add a scoop of powdered milk to mine to add some protein & creaminess.

    I like Atkins meal or endulge bars - they are like candy bars but have very low carbs and high protein (for a candy bar). Around 240 at highest calories.

    I also like blueberries and milk - I freeze the berries and eat a serving with a cup of milk poured over - turns into blueberry slush. it's yummy.

    When it is chocolate i am craving, either the aforementioned Atkins bar or a piece of dark chocolate.

    I make myself a steamer at home (sometimes "officially", usually in the microwave) -- hot (soy) milk, cinnamon, sometimes cardamon, and .5 T honey.

    Delicious, plus decent protein and calcium :-).

    Otherwise, I make grain-free muffins which are really high in fibre, VERY filling, and one removes cravings for anything else until the next meal :-).
