Most people suffer from sweets and candy withdrawal, especially around the holidays where candy is laying around the house (Halloween and Easter), so instead of caving into those sweet temptations, why not make a healthy alternative so you can curb those cravings, but also move closer to your health and fitness goals?!

Stop giving in so easily and work your way around so after you stay strong, you feel good, healthier, stronger, and successful!!

Im going to give you my 2 FAVORITE ways to replace those sweet tooth cravings for healthy alternatives!!

1. Shakeology Balls– These Bad boys are pretty amazing and sooooo easy to make!!! 2 Balls will satisfy you!! This is not only going to help your cravings, but also give you tons of dense nutrients and superfoods!! Literally you can have sweets and fuel your body at the same time?!?! HECK YES!!!!!
2. Rice Cake Treats– Im not sure what to call them so I’ll stick with this!! Seriously, so easy and so fulfilling!!! You make them ANY way you want.. whatever toppings you want to help whatever craving you have!! Here are a few different ways I make them:

• 1 layer of natural Peanut Butter
• 1 Layer of sugar free-fat free cool whip
• Sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut

OR

• 1 layer natural Peanut butter
• 1 layer sugar free fat free cool whip
• sprinkle sliced cocoa almonds

OR 

• 1 layer natural Peanut butter
• 1 layer sugar free fat free cool whip
• sprinkle soy free, nuts free, dairy free chocolate chips (found in organic section of local grocery store)

If you are feeling like you are feeling those temptations coming, have something prepared so you do not fall off track!! Have extra water with you too!! Many times its not hunger cravings, its boredom or dehydration!!!
