Healthy Alternatives for When You’re Craving …

Sugar

Fruits

Fruit! It may take a little more to satisfy your sugar craving, but with the vast variety of fruit in the world, you have so many options!

My personal favorites are strawberries, blueberries, oranges, bananas, and mangoes. These are perfect for mindless snacking, and you don’t have to feel guilty about it!

 

 

Natural butters

Natural butters. Think almond and coconut, or peanut butter with a low fat content.

 

Fruit Smoothies

Fruit smoothies. What, summer isn’t here yet? Well I say bring summer to you with a delicious fruit smoothie! Combine your favorites for a refreshing drink full of vitamins and minerals to keep you going.

Salt and Crunch

Salted almonds, pistachios, walnuts, lightly salted popcorn… These are all great snackable foods to try for when you need that extra crunch and salt in your life.

 

Happy snacking!
