Attack of the Sweet Tooth

 

Night time sweet tooth snack

I love this healthy treat. When I have the sweet tooth night time “syndrome”…..aka….i have been stressed all day, and my “Will Power” is beginning to crumble. I reach for a healthier “treat”.

Yogurt Protein Sweet

1- 2 cups plain yogurt
1/2-1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder

Add a little bit of honey if you want to sweeten if up a little bit more. Also if it’s to thick you can and a splash of almond milk (original). It will water it down a little without lots of calories.

Mix it up. Bam!!! You have a sweet, creamy treat. Honestly it’s not as good as a big fat bowl of ice cream. However, it curbs my sweet tooth enough, until I go to bed. In the morning I don’t regret what I ate the night before, and I physically feel a whole lot better too.

Satisfy your sweet tooth, while feeding your body a healthy serving of protein and calcium. Eat up, and enjoy with out the negative affects, and with out the guilt!

Here are some things to look for when shopping for a protein powder.

1 serving should have about 20-30 grams of protein

Look for low carb (no more then 3 carbs)
Low sugar 3-6 grams of sugar (usually it has a sweetener….sucralose is considered one of the safest)

Taste- It all depends on your own taste buds, but try different brands and stick with one you love.
