Trying to find ideas for some sweet treats that aren't as terrible as say a huge donut... just something to satisfy the craving.. i like dark chocolate - but feel like something cookie based. Help!

    I love the Fiber one cookies. They aren't exactly nutritious but with all that fiber you really can't overdo it. ;)

    Mmmm. One of my favorite sweet, healthy treats are rice cakes! There are so many tasty flavors but when in feeling extra naughty, I'll put a little honey in a glass of water and sip that. I like to avoid added sugar but since it's honey, I feel it's okay.

    Naked Bars are good packed with protein and no gluten. If not dark chocolate. If you training a little treat is welcome I say!

    There are many recipes that you can try and make your own healthy cookies. You probably have most of the ingredients at home already. For example, you can try chocolate chip cookies that are made of oatmeal. Add some fruit in it, like bananas, cranberries, hazelnuts etc. I personally like the combination of almonds, hazelnuts and cherries. If you're not in the mood for making cookies, you can try hazelnuts with honey. But be careful, 1-2 tablespoons of hazelnuts a day is just enough. Be creative!

    Mix oats with bananas and add some dark chocolate chips. If you're looking for more cookie-likeness maybe try adding a little vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Play with it if you like to bake. I would recommend parchment paper or no-stick silicone sheets though. No fats make these bake right to the cookie sheet.

    I would also recommend chocolatecoveredkatie.com . Need to try the deep dish cookies!

    I had to taste test this for you before I wrote it. Not a cookie, but good. Adjust to taste.
    Take frozen banana slice 1/4".
    Mix natural peanut butter (1 serving) with Nutella(1/2 serving) with 10 grams of honey. Spread on banana and refreeze, stay out of them till re-frozen, 30 minutes.

    I slice a banana, top with a dab of natural peanut butter and top with another banana slice. Freeze on a piece of parchment paper. Once frozen, I dip them 1/2 way into melted dark chocolate and dip 8n unsweetened shredded coconut and refreeze. Store in Tupperware in the freezer. Delicious!
