Something sweet

Small bag of sweet caramel popcorn for under 100 calories
Or 2 squares of dark chocolate. A dish of sugar free jelly?

I have a sugar free yogurt. Only around 50 calories.

A fun size bag of Maltesers, 98 calories. I usually I wait for a while after a main meal, until the time I am likely to want to start snacking.

I would go with the popcorn 🍿 and melt the two squares of dark chocolate 🍫 over it. Plain popcorn though.

fancythat For me a meal never quite seems complete without something sweet at the end. We stay away from sugar as much as possible, so I make something like chocolate cake or ginger cake made with a sugar substitute that we have with a bit of cream and possibly some berries. One 8" layer lasts us four days so we're not eating much sugar substitute but we just get that bit of sweetness we need.

All good ideas. Thank you.
Yes, I have worked out if I dont have something sweet to end things with, I am still looking for something, 20 minutes later.

Dates are good if you crave something sweet, two dates are about 60 calories. The taste seems to linger so you don’t need to eat more, unlike chocolate.

I have two pieces of KitKat most nights and save the other two for the following night. It seems to tell my brain that mealtime is over so I don’t snack later on.

Since the beginning of lockdown DH and I have 2 squares of dark chocolate each evening at 8pm. We still continue this little treat.

Bit odd I know but I have a trifle sponge finger, I think they are called lady fingers, for me, they are more satisfying than a small piece of chocolate and although they are sweet only have 30 calories.

Interesting and varied ideas. Just what I wanted. Thanks.

rubysong Sweet. No pun intended.

Kit Kat or a Blue Riband.

Goes no fruit include cooked fruit? Most fruit do not need sweetening when stewed (Rhubarb is, of course, the obvious exception) But apples, pears, plums, berries, all stew and taste sweet.

No, not really.
But I do like to add pastry or crumble. But I could try without.

Add spices, especially to apples and plums. Cinnamon or cloves go very well with apple, or stir some dried fruit or nuts in

Two pieces of Kit Kat or a Club Biscuit after dinner ....... really look forward to this treat. BUT this time of year I have usually had a mince pie with my afternoon cup of tea too

Mmmmm.. some nice spicy stewed eating apples or pears with a dollop of a nice yoghurt or cream... 😋 Could just eat that now.

I have a very large bag of organic dates permanently available for my sweet fix.
I was prediabetic previously and gave up sugar by carefully monitoring all products that contained more than 10g per 100g of sugar ( carbohydrates). It as an education to see so much added sugar!
However I do have a sweet tooth still to a degree and those dates and an occasional square of chocolate are sufficient now.

I like a yoghurt or a mini ice cream like a mini magnum or a couple of chocolate digestives with a cuppa, like a lot of those above a meal doesn’t feel finished without something sweet and I d end up eating crisps etc and looking for more if I didn’t finish with a sweet something. My kids all laugh at me when I say I don’t have a sweet tooth….lol

I have three sweet treats I like to indulge in for my sweet tooth, I have Skinny bar dark chocolate and mint flavoured, I keep mine in the freezer, they are about 80 cals, I also have Harley’s no sugar jelly at 19 cals a portion and no fat Greek yogurt and lastly I have halo top ice cream lollies which start at around 80 calls, these are what my partner and I have been having and have both lost almost 2 stone each in about 3 months

Since I try to eat my main meal mid-day I don’t really eat much at night, but what I love is a spot of sugar-sweet taste to wrap up my day before I brush my teeth.

My favorite thing to eat is a sliced apple I dip in a caramel dip (for apples) but also dip the caramel tipped slices in (chopped) peanuts. Delicious!

This way I’m getting another piece of fruit, a spot of sugar and a bit more crunchy chewy satisfaction. Two out of these three are healthy. You won’t feel hungry after this.

A red berry Solero ice cream has 97 calories. Obviously being a lolly it is sweet, but I think the calorie count makes it OK. We often have one for dessert.

Lots of great ideas. Thank you.
I knew I couldnt think of all of them by myself.

A few bits of dried mango or apricots - yum!
