After I eat lunch I always need something sweet. Fruit is great but it gets tiring after a while and I don't always have it stocked up. I used to eat a Green Danan Light Yogurt but the dairy from it was making me break out. Any ideas on what I could treat myself to after lunch that is sweet and low in calories? Healthy desserts please.

    Diet Coke! Or crystal light. Or some tea with honey? I also like to munch on carrots to get that sweet taste.

    Today I snacked on a caramel rice cake. Tasted like lightly flavored popcorn. It was tasty and only 50 calories.

    don't know if you consider it healthy but the Welche's natural strawberry spread is delicious!! I put a Tbs in my yogurt sometimes or just spread it on a low fat waffle, rice cake, english muffin or toast. Really satisfies my dessert

    When I crave something sweet: diet ginger ale; couple of pieces of gum; licorice tea; couple of pieces of REALLY dark chocolate, Oikos Triple Zero chocolate yogurt. Those are my go-tos. Not all at once though. LOL

    Instant hit chocolate. It's about 40 calories.

    This is a fruit treat but I really like it- 1/2 cup of crushed canned pineapple, 1/2 a banana chopped up and 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut mixed together. About 200 calories.

    Thank you all for the great ideas.I also eat Fiber One brownies every now and then..so yummy. Instant hot chocolate sounds great too; is that with water though? I think I need to go buy some special dark chocolate kisses asap and try everything else that was mentioned. Thanks again.

    Another vote for dark chocolate! We've also had Girl Scout cookies around lately, and ONE of those isn't too bad--65-ish calories. Or a different small cookie, such as Trader Joe's mini heart cookies. The trick is to have just one!!

    But really, my go-to is 85% dark chocolate, weighed out.

    Definitely agree on the dark chocolate. And I don't know how you are about being able to just have one of something, but I always have various Oreo flavors on hand. Not healthy, but I can have one and it stops my sweet craving. Other than that, I'll second the diet coke, and for me lemon flavored honey in tea works well too. If you can fit in a few more calories/macros, PowerCrunch bars are amazing too.
