When I was younger, I didn't have much of a sweet tooth, but recently that's all I ever crave! Hot fudge Wednesday's in my University's cafeteria is always a struggle... I've been trying to think of ways to satisfy this craving without consuming ridiculous amounts of sugar.
Here are a couple solutions that I have found!
Fruit is always a good option. It is naturally sweet, but sometimes JUST eating fruit doesn't quite cut it. This is something that I came across the other day. I usually put peanut butter on my banana, because peanut butter is delicious. However, this time I decided to use the peanut butter as glue to this new masterpiece! Banana's are good, but raspberries and blueberries are much more flavorful in my opinion. The combination of these three fruits, with the peanut butter was the icing on the cake!
If you don't have fruit, something good to keep around is dried fruit! It lasts much longer than fresh fruit, but is still a healthy (er) than many other sweet treats.
Something I was obsessed with when I was a kid was ritz bits. This name brand treat has a little more sugar than I would like to consume, so I've started making my own version! I buy whole wheat crackers (these are my favorite) and natural ground peanut butter with no added sugar!
