Just because I was focusing on breaking unhealthy habits doesn’t mean I cut out dessert! Along the way, I found great, healthier alternatives to satisfy my sweet tooth and stay on track to achieve my health goals! Here are some favorites:
Chocolate Mousse
I ate a can of chocolate mousse every. single. day. when I was in Annecy. Yes, you read correctly! I love this dessert and it was great to have when I was transitioning from unhealthy habits to healthy habits!
Pudding
If Mousse is hard to find/not your thing, try pudding! Grocery stores offer them in various flavors and Cookies and Cream pudding always hits the spot for me!
Brownie Brittle
I LOVE Brownie Brittle! It never fails to hit the sweet tooth just right! Try mixing it with vanilla yogurt or pudding! SO GOOD!!
Yasso Bars
Yasso is a brand that makes Greek yogurt styled ice cream. I know it might sound like it won’t taste that great, but I honestly don’t notice the difference & every one of my friends who have tried them agree! They have so many flavors and I have yet to try one I don’t like!
However, in the name of being honest, I struggle with self-control when it comes to sweets. I can easily eat an entire pint of Yasso (or any ice cream really), and so these bars are perfect for me. They are portioned at around 100 calories each and the amount is PERFECT to fill you up and satisfy your cravings! I cannot recommend them enough!!
Halo Top Dairy Free Ice Cream
As I mentioned with the Yasso Bars, I struggle with self control on sweets. Halo Top is another example of how I can easily eat an entire pint. Since they are very low in calories, eating an entire pint is not a big deal, but I notice I gain weight when I eat an entire pint of Halo Top that has dairy in it and I maintain my weight when I eat an entire pint that is dairy free. I love almond and coconut milk, so I enjoy the dairy free taste.
Fruit
Nothing can beat fruit! I love going to my grandma’s house and having either strawberries mixed with Splenda or topped with her homemade whipped cream…or both!
Sometimes I melt dark chocolate and dip various fruits in it!
Frozen Purple Grapes
I read that models freeze their grapes to help with their sweet tooth. I thought it was ridiculous at first (because why would freezing a grape make it better??), but I tried it and I’m never going back! It’s amazing y’all. 10/10 recommend.
