What are some "healthier" snacks for a sweet tooth that you have found? I am not much of a sweets person, I tend to snack on carbs (mostly crackers and cereal), but when I do crave sweets, I find myself grabbing chocolate and any other thing within my reach until that craving is satisfied.

    I like skinny cow truffle ice cream bars. 100 calories and very good. But more often, I have a 60 cal sugar free dark chocolate pudding cup. Yum.

    I make a sweet protein shake like a scoop of vanilla protein, half cup of milk, and a cup of blueberries in the blender with a dash of cinnamon (or if you love cinnamon like I do, a lot of it). They're really good. I make them more hearty with half an avocado added in too. Makes it creamy beyond belief too. :)

    sometimes I'll just have a sweet potato with one tsp of brown sugar, 1 TBSP light margarine (I prefer Smart Balance), and some cinnamon.

    I do a mix of dried fruits and peanuts then divide into half cup servings which one serving has 221 calories so you can't eat a lot of it. However, it has me completely off the cake, cookies and so forth. I use pineapple, cranberries, raisins, banana chips and roasted peanuts. If I would drop the banana chips and peanuts it would have a lot less calories but they are so good in the mix!

    Apple chips
    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alexandra-guarnaschelli/apple-chips-recipe/index.html (maybe cut down on the sugar)

    Also, when I want a candy bar power, I get one of Powerbar's peanut butter protein bars. Tastes like Reeses.

    Sherbet instead of ice cream.

    My favorite is "Nature Valley" Strawberry it's 90 calories :) I like most of their low-cal snack bars. (Special K Is good too, especially the chocolate drizzle ones, there only 90 calories)

    I also eat Quaker Rice Cakes (Caramel Corn) Theres Only 50 Calories & They're Big -- and u can taste the caramel, oh its just soooo-sooo- good :))

    I also like yogart (Vanilla, Strawberry) Aslong as it's the non-fat kind, the ones I like have about 80 calories in them :D

    Jell-O (Banana Pudding) Only about 80 calories or less =)


    I have to have things already packaged because I'm horrible with controlling myself if I have to portion it out myself lol I do good with dinner and stuff, but when it comes to the sweets I would probably go-over board.

    Smoothies with berries! I know that was said already, but they are great.

    Dried fruit as well.

    I am watching sugars so fruit or frozen yogurt. I only really have chocolate during TOM and it is still limited. My *personal opinion* is that the 100 cal snacks are processed crap just like the regular stuff and skinny cow is the devil in disguise. If I have any 100 cal snack it is the cocoa covered almonds. Also a cookie can be made :) There are a ton of low cal recipes and you can cut the sugar as much as you like. Homemade is better than store bought!

    I made banana ice cream.

    Cut up one banana into small pieces and freeze it over night. When you are ready to make your ice cream let it thaw a bit and then put it in the blender until it is smooth. I like to add a bit of unsweetened cocoa powder to give it a chocolate flavour. Then put it back in the freezer for a little bit just to thicken it up.

    And there you have it, banana ice cream! No sugar added, and you don't even need to add the cocoa powder if you don't want to!
