4 Healthy Snacks To Eat Instead Of Junk Food

If you're like me, you have a craving for sugar and sweets throughout the day that could get you in a lot of trouble if you followed through on all of them! The good news is that there are several low-fat, low-sugar, and all-natural options you have to enjoy in place of those processed sugary treats... and kids love these, too!

1) Fruit

Many fruits are totally sweet-tooth satisfying! Pears and strawberries are my favorites!

2) Smoothies

Making a fruit smoothie with organic yogurt or soy milk is a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth, get some extra energy, and avoid a soda pop or other sugary treat.

3) Peanut Butter

In moderation, peanut butter on apple slices, whole grain bread, or mixed with fruit is a great way to get a boost of energy, a smile on your face, and a solution for sugar cravings.

4) Granola

Packed with grains and dried fruits, granola can be a great sweet treat with or without milk anytime you need it. Go for the varieties that are low in sugar and high in good grains.


Enjoy snacking and satisfying your sweet tooth while making great choices for your health as well!
