These Sweet Snacks Are Far Healthier Than Typical Store-Bought Sugary Foods!

If you have a sweet tooth, you may find it hard to avoid sugary foods. However, there are lots of reasons you should minimize your sugar intake. The good news is that you don’t have to give up all sweets as there are better alternatives.
Even better, you can make them – this way, you’re sure about the calories you put into your food. Here are fool-proof recipes you can easily whip up:
Raspberry Lime Slush
Sure, the slushy from the nearby convenience store is a great thirst quencher. We hate to break it to you, but it’s not healthy at all.

You can make your own using raspberries, which have one of the lowest sugar content in all fruits. Toss in 12 ounces of the frozen fruit into the food processor and add lime juice and stevia.
Pulse the mixture until you get a slush-like texture. This recipe is good for four people, but you can put the remaining in the freezer if you’re eating alone.
Sheet Pan Pancake
Pancake mix, especially the no-sugar variant, is heaven-sent. They are so versatile that you can use it not just for breakfast but at different times of the day, too.
Bake your sheet pan pancake but make sure you will use a mix made with ancient grains.
Cinnamon Cashew Milk with Strawberries Popsicle
Ice cream is difficult to let go of – after all, it instantly makes any bad day better. But the next time you’re craving for something cold and sweet, prepare healthy popsicles.

Unsalted cashews and cinnamon taste naturally sweet, but you’ll be surprised to know that they have zero sugar. Soak one cup of the nuts in water overnight and drain the next morning. Then, put it in the blender with three cups of cold water and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
After blending, pour into popsicle molds. Add freshly sliced strawberries to the molds before freezing.
Triple Almond Cookie Balls
We are all guilty of grabbing Chips Ahoy when we’re hungry just because we’re too lazy to cook our own meals. How about you indulge in a no-bake version but is far healthier?

For people who have health problems like diabetes or those who want to make dietary changes, triple almond cookie balls may satisfy your cravings. Mix ¾ cups of almond flour, ½ tsp almond extract, 3 tbsp coconut oil, and ½ tsp stevia.
Now the fun part: use your hands to roll the dough into cookie balls, the size of which will depend on your preference – generally, this recipe can yield 6 medium-sized balls. Then, roll them in chopped almonds for extra crunch. Pop these beasts in the fridge, and voila, you have an emergency snack.
