I thought I had some cool ideas for low-cal sweet snacks but they are either none too appetizing or higher cal than I thought. I've tried yogurt, applesauce, SF pudding and grapes. Any other suggestions?

    When I am having a sweet attack, I eat a 90 calorie fiber one peanut butter and chocloate bar. It is as good as eating a candy bar for me!

    Today I made:

    strawberries (like 30 cals) - covered in a fat free mango yoghurt (72 cals), topped with a crushed low fat weight watchers biscuit (44 cals)

    Its like a sort of cheesecake! You could even have fat free greek/natural yoghurt for less calories.

    I take a graham cracker sheet and cover it in a little bit of peanut butter and nutella. It is a little fatty, but its sweet and delicious!

    Fruit is always an easy go to in my home. I'm a huge fan of Greek yogurt, drizzled with a little agave syrup. What about caramel rice cakes or plain ones with a smear of peanut butter and a few thin slices of banana. I know it gets a little frustrating sometimes but you can find something I'm sure :) Good luck!

    I have a piece of fruit dipped in either cottage cheese or greek yogurt with most of my lunches and that really curbs my sweet cravings. I do keep some quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa) on hand to indulge in a couple times a week (just a square or so). Although last night, we (the family) had smores for dessert and I had one...worked it into my calorie count and was totally find with that. 1 graham crax, 1 marshmallow, 1/4 chocolate bar---yummy!

    Dried fruit is sweet
    Granola is sweet (quaker oats & honey is my fav right now)
    I have some recipes for diabetic chocolate chip/raisin cookies that are yummy and lo-cal. (I do make them small)
    PUmpkin muffins are sweet

    It takes some planning because I can't just dip into the bag of mnm's anymore, but I find ways to take care of the sweet-tooth!

    Right now I'm loving the summer fruits, berries of every kind and watermelon like there is no tomorrow! Bonus is they are fairly low in sugar.

    I'm grabbing chocolate pudding cups- 80cal for one that I found (fat free, I think no sugar added?) works pretty well, and you can microwave it depending on if you are craving something hot or cold~

    My 'go to' right now for my sweet tooth now is Activia's Blueberry Cheesecake flavored yogurt (150 cal.) I don't normally like 'dessert' flavored yogurt. This is the only one I have ever had that tastes more to me like blueberry cheesecake and not like yogurt. Really yummy and not too hard on the wallet either :)

    i love the special k bars - 90 cals...Dole real fruit bites-80 cals...Dannon Light and Fit yogurt - 80 cals...fruit is always good - and carrots too! They are sweet and crunchy!! Sometimes I even just chew a stick of gum which can have anywhere between 5 and 30 cals (the ones I chew anyway). Good luck finding something that helps you out! :flowerforyou:

    I tend to have a tablespoon of nutella, it's about 100 calories but it fixes the chocolate craving without going mad. Sugar free Jelly is good, Muller Light yoghurt.
