Low calorie sweet ideas for those days you want sugar!!!

Those 10 calorie jello cups. If I absolutely have to have chocolate, I either eat a handful of Fiber One chocolate cereal (a serving is only 80 or 90 calories and full of fiber) or i eat a few Ghiradelli 60% chocolate chips. I think 8 chips are like 40 calories.

I second the berries with whipped cream. Ooh, and last night, I had a 100 calorie pack of cinnamon flavored almonds. YUM!! I'm not a huge almond fan, but the flavored ones are really good.

There really isn't anything to kill the cravings.... except the real thing for me

But.... berries and reddi whip
mixed fruit and reddi whip
Frozen yogurt
sugar free puddings or jello
hot cocoa and mini marshmallows

this is exactly what i eat when i have a sweet craving! also Chocolate Covered Katie's website has some awesome healthy dessert ideas.

Berries and yogurt, melted dark chocolate with half a banana, peanut butter and jam on apple slices, a row of dark chocolate, baked apple stuffed with raisins and cinnamon, dates and tahini, prunes, roasted hazelnuts stuffed in prunes dippped in melted chocolate (amazing), frozen yogurt drops, jelly, fruit, banana icecream (freeze banana then blitz it with a bit of milk and cocoa (optional) and top with optional roasted walnuts, tastes like real icecream! A pancake with lemon and jam, energy balls.

Can't think of any more at the minute.

Melons do it for me - 2 cups of watermelon is 60 calories. It tastes sweeter than that to me. Other melons that you can find throughout the year are pretty good also.

I also like the Popsicle brand "no sugar added" fudge sicles, but they do have aspartame (NutraSweet) which some people don't want. They are 40 calories each.

Grilled fruit! Slice some apples or peaches, lightly brush with olive oil (or non-fat spray) to keep from sticking from grill ( or skip, they're not terrible for sticking anyway) and grill until soft with char marks. It's delicious on it's own, or add a dollop of yogurt (whatever kind you prefer)

Kettle corn. Gets that sweet and salty craving taken care of all at once! If you get the popped kind its like 50 calories a cup.
Bananas and pb2
Fruit
Fruit and Greek yogurt smoothie.
Whip cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love a serving of FF cottage cheese and about 4 ounces of strawberries sliced. I add a packet or 2 of sweetener to bump up the sweet. It's a treat for me. Now, when I need some ice cream, I just have some ice cream. Sometimes ya just gotta and get it over with!

I went camping this summer and was doing a lot of hiking so I was able t eat back my exercise calories so I had S'mores and didn't really worry about how many calories. I even ate a few extra toasted marshmallows with the attitude that I don't camp often enough to make it a habit, so I would splurge. After eating I went to log them in and found one S'more was only 140 calories and each marshmallow was only 25. I was expecting to go over my daily and got no where near it.

At 140 calories, it really makes you feel like you are cheating, and hits that sweet tooth much better than a 100 calorie snack pack.

Something I've done, that isn't super low cal but is good and not too horrible for you is:

1 sheet chocolate graham cracker
1 tbsp Peanutbutter
2 tbsp Fluff

It's about 200 calories.
