    - Low cal hot chocoloate
    - fruit ... grapes are great
    -fruit juice
    -chewing gum
    -boiled sweet (enough of a sugar hit for the craving .. but only eat 1!!)
    -low fat fruit yoghurt

    I like to lightly pan "fry" a banana in a little water. The "frying" makes it super sweet and gooey. A medium banana is 105 calories

    Or, make a pancake of 1/4 cup self rising flour, 1 small or 1/2 large egg white, water to consistency and some white sugar to make the batter sweet. Fry in margarine.

    1/4 c self rising flour 100 calories
    1 tbs sugar 60
    1 tbsp margarine 50
    1 egg white 15

    Total 225 calories.

    Throw the fried banana over it and it's a semi healthy sweet pig out that can be a whole meal.

    Total 330 calories.

    8 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of honey

    Belvita breakfast biscuits (the cinnamon brown sugar are the sweetest)

    If you can handle portion control, Hershey's dark chocolate minis

    2 packs Sugar Free Jello (Flavor of choice)
    1 Can of Juice or Water Packed fruit cocktail
    Lite Whipped topping

    I make the jello, add the fruit when the jello just starts to set. I eat a cup at a time with the 2-4 tablespoons of the topping. Its less than 125 calories per serving.

    Just eat the fruit and don't worry about going over your sugar goal that MFP has allotted.
    It's not a make or break thing.

    something similar to icecream but healthier!
    3/4 cup almond milk
    frozen banana (cut up)
    1T of cocoa powder
    1t vanilla
    a couple ice cubes

    puree or blend in blender or food processor. Its like a chocolate milk shake or you can freeze it in
    popsicle molds for fudgesicles. So yummy!

    I love Dole banana dippers. They're in the freezer section and are frozen banana slices covered in dark chocolate. They're 100 calories a pack. Because they're frozen they take a bit to eat.
