7 Foods to Eat to Curb Sugar Cravings

March 22, 2016 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Are you looking for sugar-free snacks to help you curb your sugar cravings?

These sugar-free snack ideas are so good you won’t even miss the sugar!

7 Foods to Eat to Curb Sugar Cravings

Sugar cravings can be intense, especially if you have just given up sugar recently. It is so easy to give in and go back to your old eating habits and grab a snack filled with refined sugar. Having a few healthier choices on hand that you can grab quickly can save you from making a choice that you will regret.

These are some of our favorite sugar-free snacks. Many of these can be made ahead of time so they are ready when you need a quick snack.

Cinnamon Apples

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on some sliced apples and you have an instant treat. These taste so much like apple pie but with no refined sugar. Cinnamon is known for helping your body process sugar too so it’s a great choice to combine with the apple.

Cheese and Crackers

Protein is fantastic for curbing sugar cravings and it fills you up too. Cheese and crackers give you a great protein and carb boost that will tide you over until your next meal.

Sugar-Free Energy Bites

Protein Packed Cocoa Energy Bites

I love making homemade energy bites to have on hand when a sugar craving strikes. Have you tried our Protein-Packed Cocoa Energy Bites yet? I always double the batch because my kids love them so much that they can knock out a regular batch in less than a day.

Peanut Butter on a Banana

Banana’s are naturally sweet and when you add a bit of peanut butter on top you have a really satisfying snack. If peanut butter isn’t your thing, roll the banana in just a bit of cocoa powder.

Smoothie

Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe? Try making a green smoothie for a great boost of nutrition. If you want something a bit sweeter, we love this blueberry banana smoothie for a sweet (but sugar-free) treat.

Almond Butter in a Date

Dates are naturally sweet (and if you have never tried a fresh date you a seriously missing out). Remove the pit from your date and fill the center with just a bit of almond butter for a fantastic treat.

Sugar-Free Mint Gum

Sometimes you just need the taste of something sweet. Try chewing on a piece of sugar-free mint gum to curb your craving. I’ve heard people suggest that you try brushing your teeth when you want something sweet and that works surprisingly well too. Gum is a bit more portable though so it’s wroth keeping a few sticks in your bag when you are on the go.

Protein-Packed Cocoa Energy Bites

Are you looking for a sugar-free snack idea that tastes fantastic?

These protein-packed cocoa energy bites are delicious and they are perfect to have on hand to curb sugar cravings!

Protein-Packed Cocoa Energy Bites

Snacking is one of the times when your sugar cravings can get the best of you. Most convenience foods are packed with sugar (and other not so great ingredients). We eat them because they are easy to grab when we are hungry.

Make it easy on yourself to eat healthy even when a craving hits. Keep a batch of these in your fridge so you can grab one when you need a snack or have a sugar craving.

These travel beautifully. We usually take a few bags of these whenever we head out for the day. My kids love them and they are so easy to eat on the go!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Optional: Add 2 Tbsp. of your favorite veggie powder for some extra nutrition. This is our favorite.

Preparation

Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix on medium for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is combined.

Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into balls. I like keeping these fairly small (around 1-2 inches in diameter) so they don’t break apart.

Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Hi! I’m Rachel

Hi! I'm Rachel. I'm a mom of 6 who is working to cut the sugar out of my family's diet. After having twins a few years ago I have struggled to lose the baby weight. It turns out I had become insulin resistant. My path to weight loss started with cutting out all the sugar in my diet . . . and it was challenging. I found out that I don't just enjoy sugar, I'm addicted to it. Finding sugar-free recipes and tricks for dealing with sugar cravings has been so hard but I felt an immediate improvement in the way I felt and I lost 8 pounds within the first 2 weeks of going sugar-free.
