Healthy sweet snack options12/11/2023 ![]() Thank you, siggi’s.The search for good snacks seems never ending. I have been eating these as breakfast, lunch, and dessert-like snack and my life is leveled up because of it. Why have I never had cacao nibs before? I don’t know, but those crunchy chocolate-like bits mixed with the naturally sweet coconut and creamy vanilla yogurt? Make that a yes. Personally, I’d recommend the cacao nibs and coconut with vanilla yogurt. I need crunch with my yogurt, as you might remember from my strawberry shortcake yogurt bowls earlier this summer (more on that in a minute), and these brand spanking new Simple Sides offerings make it easy to get the CRUNCH I’m looking for, plus the protein I need, plus the feels-like-dessert vibe, without all the extra sugar. All packaged together in a convenient and recyclable little single-serve cup.Comes in four yummy flavors: vanilla yogurt with almonds and dried cherries, vanilla yogurt with dried coconut and cacao nibs, honey yogurt with dried figs and walnuts, and plain yogurt with muesli and currants.Perfect for low maintenance on-the-go snacking.Excellent quality, super-creamy whole milk yogurt.Crunchy/sweet toppings on the side, all of which are NO SUGAR ADDED! (because they are good things like figs and walnuts and cacao nibs and coconut.Simple ingredients, not a lot of sugar.Here’s the deal with these little snackers. When I’m in that place of wanting a treat – an actual, non-carrot-stick, special-something treat – and also wanting to keep it pretty wholesome, I turn to these yummy and easy lower in sugar snacks (that conveniently kind of taste like dessert). That’s nice and everything, and I’m sure there are lots of lists out there with those kinds of ideas if that’s what you’re looking for, but sometimes I’m craving something sweeter, and no offense, but a pile of carrot sticks just isn’t going to do it for me. Cheese, nuts, vegetables, that kind of thing. Of course, the lowest sugar snacks you could find would be things that aren’t sweet at all. I personally need a reminder of all the good foods that are out there that can serve as both a treat and a benefit to my body. ![]() I’m not totally overdoing it, but I do think being pregnant is making me more susceptible than ever to REALLY LOVING sugar.Įvery once in a while I have to really stop and think: is this what I want to be eating? Is there nutrition here? Is this making me feel better or worse? And that’s kind of what brought me to this post. I eat oatmeal sweetened with brown sugar for breakfast almost every day, ice cream of all varieties is my summer anthem, and I have a popsicle or a glass of lemonade most nights after dinner. Since Sugar Free January ended, I have definitely reintroduced sugar into my life. It was actually super delicious because I think we were all reminded that, shocker of all shockers, you can actually still eat really good food without sugar in your life! YES PLEASE! THIS IS AMAZING!Ī lot of ice cream has happened in between January and now, so I guess we could say that this post is a gentle mid-year reminder to myself of everything that I felt so excited about after Sugar Free January. In January, I brought you guys along with me for Sugar Free January with a whole month of refined sugar free recipes. I have found it so interesting to experiment with removing and reintroducing sugar into my life over these last few years. You want it, and you love it, but you don’t want it, and you maybe kind of avoid it, even though you like it, because too much makes you feel terrible. ![]()
