There’s nothing wrong with having a sweet tooth—just try to handle it more healthily with these alternatives. This way, you can stay away from candy while still enjoying sweet flavors.
Replace peanut butter with added sugars with a 100% nut butter. You can easily make your own by blending your favorite nuts in a strong blender or food processor. A simple and healthy spread for your toast.
Instead of jam, try putting fresh fruit on your sandwich. Combine banana with homemade nut butter, or some strawberries or raspberries with cottage cheese. Much tastier than jam!
If you like sucking on candies or sour sweets, frozen grapes are a great alternative. They don’t get rock-hard (like frozen strawberries), but become pleasantly firm. Plus, you’ll naturally eat fewer of them than an unfrozen bunch of grapes.
Dried prunes contain a lot of fruit sugar, but they’re also rich in fiber, which keeps you full for longer—while still satisfying that sweet craving. Drink enough water to avoid constipation.
(Extra) dark chocolate gives you that chocolate feeling without the temptation to eat an entire bar. It may seem a bit dry, but it’s delicious with a glass of milk.
In yogurt or porridge, sugar can easily be (partly) replaced by cinnamon. Cinnamon makes dishes taste sweeter without adding any calories!
