I have a horrible sweet tooth, but I'm trying to cut down the amount of sugar in my diet. Unfortunately, I can't have the diet options of anything because my stomach reacts badly to artificial sweeteners. I don't want to go completely without sweet things because it's basically my favorite part of eating, haha. Other than fruit, what's everybody's favorite low-sugar dessert or snack?

    Sweet potatoes and carrots are sweet and they aren't fruit. Corn is a grain and it is sweet.

    Protein powders are great sugar alternatives (I believe you can buy soy protein now with no artificial sweeteners) . mixed with oats and hot milk or water you cant go wrong.

    Or Fage yogurt/high protein yogurt with handful of fresh fruit always works.

    Cottage cheese with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips (I also like to add a little dried fruit to this, like cherries or apricots).

    I like these crispy rice snacks as well-45 calories each.

    And I like gummy fruit snacks as well--they are sugar dense but portion controlled and usually 80-90 calories.

    Dont take this the wrong way, but for me rice snacks/cakes taste like im chewing on a paper towel!

    I love sweet treats too. I still enjoy chocolate and sweets I now buy treat sized chocolate bars and sweets. I often have 2 finger KitKats, blue ribbands and drifts. They're all about 100cal each. I like to but chocolate and sweets that are packed in small quantities or individual wrapped. I find it helps me with portion control.

    Lara bars are good! They're also made from just a few ingredients. However they're higher in calories (200/220 per bar) so you'd definitely have to plan for it

    I don't know what your calorie limit is for sweets, but here are a few things I'm enjoying:

    Ciao Bella Blueberry Passionfruit Sorbetto - 110 calories for 1/2 cup. Rich and delicious
    Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich - 130 calories
    Skinny Cow Salted Caramel Pretzel Bar - 160 (really good, my kids even steal them)
    Outshine Grape (or other flavored popsicle) - Full size is about 60-70 cals and half size are half that.

    Not sure if you were looking for true desserts but this is what I lean on.

    When I'm being more virtuous, I will get a really, really sweet ataulfo (champagne) mango and slice it over plain greek yogurt.

    NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS in any of the above. I don't use them either.

    Not offended at all, these were sweeter than those I'd had in the past and I was pleasantly surprised, but everyone is free to take or not take suggestions.

    was going to try them because you said they were sweeter. cheapest place in canada is amazon and they want 42$ for a box lol.

    Oh my goodness- sometimes- Amazon really gets over on how much it charges- sometimes we can get those rice rolls at a dollar store near me- they may not be the same brand- I did not really like them- I enjoy the rice cakes better- but they are practically the same things- lol

    Special K protein granola bars. The chocolate cherry one is as tasty as a candy bar and is only 150 calories. And it has a decent amount of protein--8 grams!

    Also...I take the gummy or chew version of vitamins whenever possible. I love candy. >_>

    My current treat of choice is light vanilla Greek yogurt with cocoa and stevia and sometimes some powdered peanut butter. The wife buys frozen Greek yogurt bars that are really good and 100 calories each. Halo Top is awesome. I also like to crumble a few Doritos into some cottage cheese. Another idea is smashing some fresh blackberries with powdered peanut butter for a nice pb&j effect. There are lots of ways to use protein powders and @crazyravr has a killer protein cheesecake recipe over in the recipe section.
