Sugaraholics Anonymous

My name is Hayley and I am a sugar addict... All jokes aside, I really do love my sweets and when I started this whole life change, I had some reservations for this very reason. I can't have cake? Tiramisu? ugh and what about bread pudding? So, I had to get creative. I have found a few things that helped kill my sweet tooth cravings without going crazy and sabotaging everything I have been working toward. 

The first dessert is very simple. It satisfies my sweet tooth without having to worry about how many calories I just consumed, or how I just messed up my diet so I might as well just give up. (yes, I have done that!)

Strawberries & Stevia

-10 Medium Strawberries cut into 1/4 (4 calories a strawberry)

-2 tsp Stevia 

Then mix it up until the Stevia turns into somewhat of a glaze. If you have ever had strawberries and sugar, that is what I was try to copycat here. Also, I am not counting calories at all. But for those people who do, I added in the calories as a FYI. So, this is a very filling, very satisfying 40 calorie dessert.



The second dessert is higher in calories but also just
as satisfying. I love Red Mango and I am in love with their coconut Greek yogurt. So when I saw that Chobani made a coconut flavor I knew I had to try it and let me tell you, OMG this stuff is delicious!

Coconut Yogurt Dessert
-1 cup Chobani Coconut Greek Yogurt (150 cal.)
-10 Raspberries (10 cal.)
-1 square of Intense Dark 86% Cacao Midnight Reverie Bar (60 cal.)

Stir the yogurt until it's smooth. Place the raspberries on top of the yogurt or stir them in! In a glass bowl melt the Ghirardelli square. ( about 60 sec. in the microwave.) Then drizzle the liquid chocolate over the raspberries. The chocolate then hardens almost like magic shell ice cream topping. I know that chocolate isn't exactly Paleo but I did go with a higher percentage of cacao. Which I have heard is better for you. 

I will continue to find sweet-tooth-killing-concoctions and share them. Hope you enjoy!
