I’ll be the first to admit that I have a super sweet tooth. This gets me into trouble many, many times, usually around the summer months and I’m itching to wear my bikini. Luckily, I’ve come across this lovely article from fitsugar, that lists healthy snacks that’ll satisfy any sweet tooth. They are:

  • Fruit smoothies
  • Breakfast anytime – when craving a little sweet, why not eat oatmeal (I recommend cinnamon roll), pancakes, or waffles?
  • Yogurt
  • Peanut Butter sandwiches (I know, it’s a throwback! But its good and healthy for you)
  • Need something warm to satisfy that craving? Try baking some fruit, and topping it with nuts and a little bit of cinnamon or granola. That way you’ll get the crunch without the buttery crust.

Hopefully these will work for you. Granted, some may not be quick, but hey, it’s a start!

What’s your favorite tasty, yet healthy snack?
