Sweet Tooth*

Who doesn't have a daily sugar craving? Studies show that it's better to tend to those cravings than simply ignore them- which can result in fatigue, binging, and mood swings! Here are a few tips to keep your body and mind satisfied without compromising too much "bad stuff":

- Whip up some sugar free chocolate pudding- low in calories, yummy and delicious!
- Mix up a bowl of berries and top with a dollop of cool whip or sprinkle some powdered sugar!
- Munch on lower-cal candies, like gummy bears or licorice (which even has health benefits)!
- Keep dark chocolate squares in your fridge- again, there are health benefits and the size is perfect to both satisfy the craving without overloading on the calories!
- Grab a cookie from your local health foods store- go for the oatmeal, fruit, and nut options!

Enjoy your afternoon a little more today*
