Let's be honest: Anything that seriously satisfies our sweet tooth isn't going to be the epitome of a healthy meal. Though all of these snacks contain (gasp!) sugar, we aimed to find lower-sugar options that offer something beneficial or something in moderation.

I love sweets too! thanks for commenting!

I use the Polar Fitness heart rate watch to ensure my burned calories are accurate, thanks for your comment!
