Most of us already get two to three times as much added sugars as we should, so instead of reaching for a treat that is nothing more than empty sugar calories, try these sweet-tooth tamers instead:
- Prunes: Fresh fruit is a great option, but it's often not as satisfying as dried fruit. Naturally sweet Sunsweet Ones have 25 calories each and can be stored in a desk drawer, car, purse or gym bag. The fiber helps temper blood sugar levels to temper cravings.
- Natural Delights Coconut Date Rolls: Delicious fiberful dates plus coconut flakes make these sweet treats a perfect snack or dessert. Two rolls provide 150 calories and pack in more fiber (eight grams) than two cups of strawberries.
- Pomegranate arils: Juicy and sweet, pomegranate arils are an antioxidant-packed sweet tooth satisfier. POM POMs fresh pomegranate arils have a whopping six grams of fiber and just 100 calories and come in a convenient cup.
