7 Sweet ‘N Healthy Snacks

Need a way to satisfy your sweet tooth?

That dreaded sweet tooth…

Have you ever had an insatiable craving for sweets?

Have you ever tried so hard not to give in to that craving

only to find yourself eating a giant brownie five minutes

later? It’s safe to say almost everyone has been there.

So what’s the solution? No, it’s not giving up sweets

altogether. It’s satisfying your sweet tooth with a small,

tasty treat that still has healthy elements. The following

seven slides will give you some examples of such treats:

1. Chocolate dipped strawberries.

Since fruit is naturally

sweet, it’s no wonder you

can embellish it to make it

into a dessert-like treat.

Melt some chocolate, dip

a few ripe strawberries in

the chocolate, and put

them in the fridge. Once

the chocolate has hardened, enjoy!

2. Yogurt parfait.

Sometimes a small bowl of Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

topped with granola and a sprinkling of blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries is all you need to satisfy that

sweet inkiling. You can even add some shaved

chocolate if you can’t resist.

3. Fruit leather.

Don’t confuse Fruit Roll-Ups with fruit leather. Fruit leather

is basically dried fruit that’s been pressed and rolled into

leather strips. It almost tastes like candy because of the

natural sugars from the fruit. Just be sure you buy the kind

that says “no added sugar.”

4. Hot chocolate.

On those cold winter days

when it’s especially hard not

to crave sweets, make a

smal mug of hot chocolate.

Use skim or soy milk and go

easy on the hot chocolate

powder. You’ll feel satisfied

and warm and toasty.

5. Chocolate frozen banana.

Got any extra-ripe bananas lying around? Cut one of them in half, and put the two halves in the freezer.

Once it’s hard enough, take one half out and roll it in dark melted chocoate. Then roll it in a topping like nuts or granola.

Put it back in the freezer, let it set, and enjoy (and save the other banana half for a smoothie)!

6. Pudding.

Pudding, whether it’s chocolate, vanilla, or pistachio, is

actually a lower calorie, somewhat guilt-free dessert. Just

whip up some instant pudding of your choice, scoop a

cup of it into a bowl, and top it with berries.

7. Peanut butter chocolate smoothie.

Smoothies can be both sweet and healthy if you make

them right. For instance, you can make a delicious

smoothie using Chocolate PB Fit peanut butter powder,

milk, a handful of oatmeal, and half a frozen banana.

Combine these ingredients, and you won’t stop smiling.
