Sweet treats, without the guilt?
I recently discovered I LOVE frozen grapes so instead of reaching for hard candy, chips etc. I snack on those through the day.
Also I found these amazing Greek yogurt bars that remind me of cheesecake!

I usually go for sugar free jolly ranchers because i can hold them in my mouth for a long period of time. If i am really needing something sweet I slice some cucumbers and dip them in Stevia.
I am also a big fan of halo ice cream. If I buy a pint I'm going to eat the entire pint at one time. They are single serve per pint and have added protein to them.0 -
Those look delicious! I will look for them. I take a serving of greek yogurt, this time okios vanilla about 140 grams, and mix it with 5 g unsweetened cocoa and 15 g of PB FIT powder. Turns out like chocolate peanut butter soft serve ice cream. About 160 cals and 20 g of protein and extra calcium for the serving I just ate. May try to freeze it next time to see how it is.1

I like to chill yogurt container then stir in frozen blueberries. Makes a nice quick frozen dessert like treat/snack or part of meal. There are a variety of flavors @ 90 cals.

I did the okios coco, peanut butter yesterday! It was very good!
I will have to try the mixed berry.
I also discovered that I can get lots of fruit in if I take some 0 sugar ready whip & put it on my fruit!
15 calories per 2 tablespoons, I stir my fruit in so the whip is covering it. Really yummy dessert replacement1 -
The ready whip is a fav go to for me too.
Have you ever noticed when eating lots of sugar processed foods, that real natural foods taste bland?
But if you step away from the processed goodies, then the natural sweetness starts to emerge...
I like to bake a couple sweet potatoes or delicata squash in the fall to have on hand for snacks. Was surprised how sweet they are.
Have grown to love chilled tangerines.
banana with pb and melted dark chocolate.
Sliced apple rings with some pb and chopped nuts.

I’ve been trying to think of ideas for sweet potatoes. I know they are really nutritious.
I’m going to try dipping some fruits in chocolate as well!0 -
@meachemcrystal795 I am not a fan of sweet potatoes, but hubby loves them. I make a twice baked version for him. Bake a sweet potato, when it is cool enough to handle, cut in half, lightly mash in its skin. Add a touch of butter and cinnamon and mix in. Drizzle with just a bit of real maple syrup and back for about 15 more minutes. He loves it with or without the syrup.

I am definitely! Going to try that. I feel like my kids would also enjoy that. Thanks so much!

I tend to use oven baked sweet potatoes or the delicata/sweet squashes served plain.
Family candied them in brown sugar and butter at holiday meals and I did not care for them except the candied edges...
But later, now I enjoy sweet potatoes or the delicata squash oven baked and I eat them instead of mashed potatoes in a meal. (this feels traditional to me.)
For snacks, i pair a carb and protein, so either could be reheated with a scoop of leftover meats, (traditional)
Or... I like them separately cold from the fridge with a couple cheesesticks. (feels odd/not traditional to me, but I like it... comes across as a sweet snack.)

what I’ve been having is the cheesecake Jell-O sugar and really long calorie and I get like the fair life, low-fat milk and make it with that and then I just protein powder. I also have been getting‘s small popsicle. They’re like 45 cal each or 50 cal each and they hit the spot. been making like really good, healthy protein, smoothies, or just smoothies in general and that kind of hits the spot. For some are like one of the things that are so calorie just take up so much of your calories and they’re not even fulfilling. They’re only just so good.

Not sweet. But it helps me have something to keep my mouth occupied…
Flavored toothpicks! I've usually use cherry or mint flavors. :)
