Healthy alternatives for my sweet tooth? e.g. biscuits, chocolate, candies, etc

[drattax]

Hello!

I'm 21 (f) currently starting on my weight loss journey, so far, okay naman. I'm doing calorie deficit as well as 16:8 fasting - no workout as of the moment.

My only concern is my sweet tooth haha. Every after meals naghahanap ako ng small desert na pwede ko kainin or papakin. Yung amount of intake is not a concern kasi kaya ko naman i-limit, its just that kung every meal gagawin, magiging unhealthy habit.

I'm finding alternatives sana like dried fruit, pero medyo may kamahalan kasi. I tried dried mangoes pero ₱250/250 grams nauubos 1-2weeks. For instance, from eating presto-s and oreos, biscuit ko na lang lagi is honey graham crackers, medj less sweet pero its still 120 calories agad haha. Eventually I'd like to phase out sweets pero for now I'm finding cheap and healthy alternatives.

Any recommendations? Kahit biscuit, chocolate, jellies, etc. na masarap papakin after meals AND is also BUDGET friendly for a student like me hehe

Thank you!

@drattax Frozen grapes. There are like ~70 calories in 100g of grapes. Just don't overdo it, kasi mataas sugar content nyan.

@drattax Mixed Greek yogurt (50 pesos each nestle Greek) with protein powder then freeze it. Instant ice cream high in protein.

Or muscle nation protein jelly sa shopee. No cal no sugar high protein. 160pesos nga lang pero nakakabusog

Or low fat cream cheese + protein powder then freeze

Protein powder flavor and brand of your choice. Never N.A. ko nagcrave sa ibang sweets o desserts when I discovered these. Actually protein powder + milk + black coffee in of itself parang dessert na for me = instant Starbucks frappe

Using Nexus Nutrition Whey Protein with my oats has been great for me. High protein as well and taste pretty sweet but not too sweet!
