It's not quite the same... but for me fruit is a healthier substitute... I love apples and cheese paired together, or grapes and cheese.

If you don't mind artificial sweetener then s.f. pudding or fudgsicles are a nice treat. Possibly s.f. jello, although that does nothing for me.

While doing WW I also discovered "Skinny Cow" (ice cream treats, I'm especially fond of the ice cream sandwhiches [flying saucers if you are familiar with those]) and also No Pudge brownie mix... which I think includes directions for making smaller batches at a time.

Some will recommend the 3 bite and toss route... but doesn't work so well for me sometimes.

I like to splurge occasionally with something truly yummy... which helps me skip some of the "less good" stuff that I eat w/o thinking (like cheap chocolate and free cookies at work).

Curious to see what others suggest,
-Tia

I like frozen strawberries. I let them thaw half way and eat them with a spoon in the bowl. I used to eat grapes, but they are no-no since they are really high in sugar.
I also used to take unsweetened yogurt and add frozen berried and some sweetener like stevia and make a frozen yogurt in the freezer.

One of my favorites is to buy sugar free angel food cake....then use strawberries sweetned in splenda..and top with some sugar free whipped cream for a low carb/sugar dessert.

My dad constantly makes a low carb "pie" by making filling out of cream cheese,canned sugar free fruit,diet jello,and his favorite nuts (walnuts,pecams,almonds,etc...) into a pie crust made out of whole wheat flour.

We do a lot of sugar free jello w/ sugar free cool whip. Sometimes we add berries to it. YUM!

We also do no sugar added popsicles.

My not so healthy not so guilty treats. . .Lol

Trader Joe's Sells Low Carb Dark Chocolate. I never used to like dark chocolate, but I really like this. It's really sweet, but because it contains sugar alcohols, I can't eat more than 4 squares max (about 1 oz) or I'll be in the bathroom wondering why the heck I ate that. Also, up to 1 oz of dark chocolate per day can be good for you because it contains anti-oxidants. Drinking milk with it dimishes the health benefit though.

Breyer's makes Carb Smart ice cream (just watch the serving size!).

Sugar free Jello Pudding. . .I prefer the individual cups for portion control.

Medjool dates are really sweet. Sometimes I eat one or two with a handful of pecan nuts for a snack, and they're really tasty.

SWEET TOOTH?

Well, sugar free gum does the trick for me. But because I have an issue with CRUNCH and have a need for something crunchy, I LOVE celery with Peanut Butter (natural/no sugar added).

i love to blend frozen bananas in my magic bullet. i have also added cool-whip and chocolate chips to make it taste like a blizzard, but you don't have to.
