Reply To: Sweet Cravings

Hey Stacie! Great suggestion! We can add this to the topic list. And, you are right, all things can fit in moderation. A good ice cream alternative is a yogurt parfait or a homemade fruit sorbet (I think someone actually posted a recipe here before). Dark chocolate although most come with sugar is still very healthy and can satisfy a sweet tooth for some. We also want to keep in mind the “satisfaction factor”, I.e. if you eat the “healthy alternative” will that satisfy you or are you still going to want the ice cream after you eat the yogurt, for example.
