Dressed-up yoghurt is one of the best and my favourite ways to satisfy any sweet tooth! Take flavoured or plain yoghurt, add coconut flakes, chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs and you’ve got a nutritious and healthy snack that will absolutely trick your taste buds! We like strawberry yoghurt with dark chocolate chips; it’s so delicious.
Almonds and Dates
Another way to satisfy your sweet tooth is to mix some delicious and unexpected foods! For instance, dates and almonds. Dates are packed with nutrients, and they are so sweet, and almonds have a great crunch, contain healthy fats, and go with just about everything. Combine almonds and dates, and you’ve got the perfect healthy snack to trick your sweet tooth.
Banana with Honey and Cinnamon

Honey and cinnamon can make any food better. Sure, bananas are naturally sweet, but when we want something more dessert-like, we drizzle a little honey and sprinkle a little cinnamon on my banana slices for a creamy, sweet and easy-to-make healthy snack. Almost every home has a supply of bananas, honey and cinnamon so you can easily prepare this snack when cravings strike!
Sorbet

Sorbet is another tasty and healthy snack to trick your sweet tooth. Sorbets make the perfect summer snack or dessert because they are refreshing, light and come in many flavours. If you are a die-hard ice cream fan, look for rich and creamy sorbets, which are definitely worth a try!
Yoghurt-Dipped Fruits
One of the best and fun ways to enjoy fruits is to dip them in yoghurt and put them in the freezer for 2 hours or until the yoghurt is frozen. It’s sweet, tasty and you are getting the nutrients and vitamins from the yoghurt and fruits! Sliced bananas, apples, grapes and strawberries make perfect choices.
Dark Chocolate Coconut Water

Coconut water is a very nutritious drink that contains high amounts of potassium, which is needed to aid in proper hydration. Some people like the flavour of it, but we don’t. However, recently we tried dark chocolate flavoured coconut water, and we really appreciate it! It’s chocolaty without being overly heavy or thick, and it can help to trick your sweet tooth.
Smoothie

Smoothie is a fab healthy snack and a great meal replacement. One of the best things about smoothies is that you can easily add veggies like spinach or kale, and you absolutely can’t tell! You can also create many different flavours by adding tasty and nutritious ingredients, such as almond butter, yoghurt, veggies or fruits to make it thick and creamy!
Tea

You probably think we are crazy for suggesting tea as a sweet craving, right?! You have to make it right, and it can be a satisfying sweet treat! There are tons of different teas out there, go down the tea aisle at any grocery store, and you’ll see oodles of different flavours. Pick a naturally sweet tea or sweeten your tea with honey or stevia. You can even add almond milk if you like. Adding milk or sweetener makes a huge difference, and it tastes like a gourmet drink! Slowing sipping hot tea is calming, nutritious and it tastes great!
Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

Who says you cannot enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while still eating healthy? Choose all-natural fruit spread and peanut butter, and enjoy it on a slice of whole-grain bread or healthy sprouted bread. Now you’ve got a delicious, healthy snack that you can eat while relaxing at home or on the go!
Hot Chocolate
Okay, we know hot chocolate is not actually a healthy snack, but it’s a fab way to beat a sweet craving! Please make your own hot chocolate at home and top it off with a light whipped cream. You can also get hot chocolate at a coffee shop, but be sure to keep the serving small.
