I’m currently cutting out bread, rice, pasta and any added sugar unless it’s honey or naturally part of the food. Those of you that are on a similar diet, what is your go to for a sweet fix.

I’m looking for something outside of smoothies and protein drinks.

    Some fresh or dried fruit? Sugar free jello? Sugar free pudding?

    Berries for dessert are my fav. 🍓 I grind up whole vanilla bean and use in puddings or my coffee for a little sweetener as well.

    I mix low-fat cottage cheese with walnuts and strawberries and add in just a bit of sugar free jello powder (any flavor). It takes like a dessert but loaded with protein, good fat and antioxidants from the fruit! Easily can be a healthy snack or even breakfast in a hurry!

    I don't quite see how romance is the answer. That's a very different kind of sweet.

    Lol it’s fruit, from a palm tree and tasty. 😊

    Although I do not specifically limit all refined carbs, I do try to get three servings of whole fruit every day and that seems to eliminate any cravings I have for refined carbs or sugar.

    As others have said, fruit is the obvious answer. I think a pear makes a nice dessert.

    Energy balls made with nuts, dates and dried fruits or nut butters. Easy to make and you can keep on hand to snack.

    I enjoy taking shots of honey. Good stuff, coats the throat.

    I do not cut out sugar like you do - I still drink soda (*gasp*). But the ripe pineapples at my local grocery store have been like candy lately. Soooo good, 100g is only 50 calories, and has some fiber. In the winter, I was all over the clementines/cuties/halos whatever they call those little mandarin oranges. In summer, strawberries are awesome. Basically whatever fruit is in season at the moment is going to be the best-tasting treat and be more satisfying.
