It seems that after eating dinner, I am not satisfied until I have something sweet (fruit doesn't cut it for me). I am trying to eat clean, so no processed foods. Does anyone have suggestions? I have been eating my Bear Naked cookies everyday, but am wanting some variety.

    1/2 cup of pumpkin, 1/2 cup cool whip, cinnamon, nutmeg, sliced apples, honey or maple syrup Microwave for 40 seconds. Tastes like pumpkin pie!

    In Japan, good fruit is typically served as a dessert. That's what I would choose. Else, I'm stumped.

    Lara Bars are delicious and only have dates, nuts, coconut, etc. I cut mine in half.

    For me I have about 75grams of greek yoghurt with honey and some warmed up frozen berries on top. Seriously does the trick for me and I am a self-confessed sugarholic hah :).

    Otherwise a few squares of dark chocolate?

    I keep cut up mango and pineapple in baggies in the freezer. When I need a treat I blend some with a little almond milk (can use regular) and agave syrup (can use honey or maple syrup) in a mini food processor. Comes out like soft sorbet. Yum!
