Indulge in Healthy Sweet Treats

I received products to review. No other compensation was given. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

I definitely have a sweet tooth. The things is, that does not necessarily have to be a bad thing when you indulge in healthier treats in moderation. There are healthier sweets out there, and I want to share a few with you today.

If you love cookie dough, you are going to love Hampton Creek’s Just Cookie Dough. It is all-natural, cholesterol- and dairy- free, while also being more sustainable. My favorite part - the dough can actually be eaten raw! Or if you are dying for the smell of cookies baking, then you can bake cookies with the dough too.

My hubby ate this by the spoonful, and I could hardly get one bite in before he had it finished. It is that good! Find Just Cookie Dough at limited Krogers - parts of AL, GA, SC, MI, limited Whole Foods Markets - SoPac, PacNW, Costco San Diego and Central Market in TX.

Have you heard of Honey Stinger, the leading manufacturer of honey-based nutritional products? Whether you are a fan already or about to become one, you will be happy to know they are introducing two new flavors to their award-winning lineup of USDA Certified Organic products: Caramel Stinger Waffles and Grapefruit Energy Chews.

They also make other convenient, nutritious and great tasting honey-based foods including energy bars, protein bars, organic energy gels, organic waffles, organic chews, and now Kids’ Organic Waffles and Chews. My personal favorites are their organic wildflower honey and their PRO bars, which have added protein, to give you the fuel you need! The flavors (think Mocha Cherry, Dark Chocolate Mint Almond and more) are so delicious, you also feel like you are indulging in a special treat. Fueling some of the country's top cyclists, runners, triathletes and teams, Honey Stinger products may be found at specialty sporting goods retailers, natural food grocers and online.

If you are in the mood for crunchy and sweet, Pistachio Chewy Bites provide healthy snack lovers the amazing benefits of pistachios and cranberries in a delicious and nutritious bite-size bar. Pistachio Chewy Bites are heart-healthy, 100% all natural, gluten and dairy free, low in sodium, GMO free, vegan and a great on-the-go protein snack. They also have no cholesterol, zero trans-fat and are a good source of dietary fiber.

These are so delicious that you will find yourself wanting more and more. The best part for me is that they come in individually wrapped bars with 7 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber each. Having it already portioned out is a great way to keep your snacking under control. These nutrient-rich snack bars provide a great balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat for sustainable energy. You can find them in major grocery store chains across the country and online at Amazon.com and Puritan.com.

There is no need to feel guilty when you indulge your cravings with these sweet treats. Remember to eat in moderation and enjoy each bite!
