I get a lot of sweet cravings! I'm trying to be good but need some ideas. I'm not a big fruit eater other than bananas and pears. Normally it would be chocolate chip cookies or ice cream. Help!!

Check out www.ohsheglows.com
Her recipes are vegan, but I made an AWESOME almond butter brown rice rice crispy thing. It was GOOD.0 -
i find the best way to cut the cravings is to give the treats up altogether and get off the rollercoaster.0

skinny cow ice cream. It's pre-portioned so you don't binge, it tastes amazing, and they're like 140-170 cals.
Whenever I am craving, I buy this at my local CVS - http://www.skinnycow.com/products/detail.aspx?id=40 -
I make avocado and banana chocolate pudding in the blender. Just like normal chocolate pudding. Still has a lot of calories because of the healthy fats (200-350 depending on portion) but I find it gets rid of the cravings and doesn't put me back into the sugar craving rollercoaster.0

frozen fruit, Skinny Cow EVERYTHING, pre packaged 100 calorie cookies, OH chex mix has a 100 calorie pack of caramel/chocolate - its AMAZING!!, rice cakes, sugar free jello pudding cups, jello cups, fun size m &m's, fruit strips ( adult fruit roll ups)- Target/Archer farms has great ones and 45-60 calories each.
I try to get stuff pre portioned.. thats the only way I let myself eat that, portion control is my enemy. LOL0 -

Ingredients
2 2/3 cups (660 ml) fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries
1/3 cup (80 ml) water
Instructions
1. Pulse strawberries in a blender or food processor until coarsely combined. Slowly add water and pulse until smooth and thick, regularly scraping down sides with Silicone Spatula.
2. Pour into an oblong 11” x 7” (28 cm x 17.5 cm) non-stick pan. Freeze for 4–6 hours, or until completely frozen.
3. Return to blender and pulse briefly to create a thick slush, taking care not to over-blend.
4. Spoon into individual dishes and serve immediately.

My favorite is 321 cake.
1 box angel food cake
1 box any flavor cake(I use funfetti)
*empty both boxes into large ziplock bag and shake to mix.
*use for individual servings of cake.
3 tablespoons of cake mix
2 tablespoons of water, mix well
1 minute in microwave
Top with fresh fruit and whipped cream. I like diced strawberries and far free whipped cream. If you use funfetti, the total calories is 96.0 -
I eat Zone bars. They are a protein bar. They help with cravings and satisfy your hunger. Especially before a workout.0

A sugar craving can often mean that your body needs more protein. I've always had a pretty noisy sweet tooth, but when I make sure to get enough protein, I don't "need" sweets like I did before.0

Blue Bunny Fudge Lites - 35 calories.
Sugar Free Popcicles - 15 calories
Banana Panacakes - made with 1/3 cup egg whites, 1/2 mash banana and a dash of cinnamon. Mix really well and cook like you would a pancake in a teflon skillet sprayed with cooking spray, Makes about 3..Its thin like a crepe,,,let it cook really good on one side till the edges turn brown and then flip,,,if you don't wait longe enough its hard to flip. Add a tablespoon of sugar free syrup and its yummy time about 100 calories or so. We had that for breakfast this morning with 2 Jimmy Dean Breaskfast Sausage links..Hubby said he thought he was at waffle house!
