Sweet Tooth

Not sure the calorie range you’re looking for, but I swear by Lil Buff Cakes. I’m not vegan, but their vegan line tastes better than the normal one IMO.

They hit the spot and have decent amount of protein and fiber too!

Yasso bars have been my savior for late night cravings

I have never been a sweets girl…until on this diet. I can go all day long to dinner being finished, feel full and satiated and then from nowhere…I get blasted with a sweet tooth craving, ravenous, going to die if I don’t give in. It usually strikes about 10 pm. The healthiest I have come up with is to do plain Greek yogurt, wheat germ, flax seeds, walnuts, pecans, almonds, vanilla extract, honey, cocoa nibs, blueberries, strawberries…only ingredients/toppings with only 1 ingredient on the label and never too much of anything. If I save calories and macros, I can fit it into my day without blowing it. I have also done smoothies…same ingredients but thinning with almond milk or the like and even adding kale for nutrient boost. I try to avoid all sugars or sugar substitutes, and only use the honey sparingly. Dark chocolate and natural one ingredient nut butter can also do it.

I have this exact problem as well. Sometimes sweet, seedless grapes will do the trick, but I struggle with these cravings too.

I second fruit and extra dark chocolate.

For me, berries are my fav or a square of Theo’s 85% dark chocolate.

Lite N Fit Greek yogurt with berries, Atkins Endulge sweets, Fiber one sweets, Fit Crunch protein bars, One protein bars. I also make my own desserts using coconut flour and Monkfruit sweetener. You can find many recipes online with those ingredients or similar. Also the sugar free brownie mixes by Pillsbury are pretty good.

Add sweet potatoes into your diet? Sweet potato pancakes are great.

I make frozen pudding pops- 1 pkg SF pudding & 1 tub light cool whip. I mix the pudding with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup water first, then fold into the cool whip. Portion it out into 6 dixie cups and stick in some kind of handle ( I use plastic knives, handle side into the pop) and freeze. It's 100 calories each and a nice end-of-the-day treat for me, especially in hot weather.

Sometimes they say drink some juice or water instead as you may find the craving subsides after that. I don't think it's recommended eating at night as your body will store it. It's better to eat when you know you are active and not getting ready to sleep or sedatory as then at least the calories are burned. But i guess it's trial and error and for you to do what suits you. Jelly is good as it's sweet and so light!

I agree on the Yasso bars and dark chocolate. Many people mentioned chocolate pudding cups, I put a scoop of protein powder in mine. Or I make a hot cocoa with unsweetened cocoa powder, warm milk, and some honey.

Fiber One Strawberry Cheesecake bars!!!

I would suggest fruit...and water. Every time you have what feels like a craving, drink a glass of water. I would NOT recommend chocolate at all - it just feeds the sugar addiction. Tonight I had a smoothie: 1 small banana + 1/2 cup blueberries (I keep a huge bag of frozen organic berries in the freezer) + 1 cup organic unsweetened soy milk. Hits the spot! After 8pm though it's water or herbal tea only. If you get hungry later it's a good sign you need to get ready for bed, because it's just your body thinking it needs to rev up to stay awake. Going to bed at 10-10:30 has become my new mantra!
