Low Carb Sweets That Actually Taste Good
Summer’s usually the time when we realize that our figure has gone to shambles and needs trimming and tightening fast. Sure, diets and regular exercises can help get back into the sexy shape – that is, if you can help an occasional sweet or fatty food craving and not yield to temptation now and again. To keep your sweet tooth happy without compromising your dieting results, try some of these tasty low-carb sweets next time you feel the urge to wolf down some sugary snacks – with these yummy treats, you can both have the cake and eat it waistline-wise.
Peanut butter cookies that are actually good for your figure
To make these delicious low-carb cookies, you’ll need organic peanut butter (1 cup), sugar substitute like
stevia
(1 cup), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), one beaten egg and a pinch of sea salt. After you’ve mixed the ingredients into a thick pâté, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, pour spoonfuls of the paste on the ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt. Bake for around 10 minutes until the cookies are golden brown and serve cooled.
DIY granola bars that are allowed on a slimming diet
Another low-carb snack you can make at home when dieting, sugarless, grain- and gluten-free granola bars consist of almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds (¼ cup each), pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, coconut shreds and flax seed (1 tablespoon each), coconut milk powder (2 tablespoons), honey (1 teaspoon),
xylitol
(1 tablespoon) and vanilla extract (½ tablespoon) and a pinch of stevia, sea salt and xantan gum. Blend all the ingredients except honey, hylitol and vanilla extract to get a homogenous mixture, place it on a parchment paper and flatten it out. Coat the gooey blend with pre-heated honey, xylitol and vanilla extract concoction, bake for 10 minutes, cut into bars and then let cool in the fridge.
A small, yummy gulp can go a long way
Even on the strictest diet, you’re still allowed to take an occasional gulp of tasty refreshments like
Free Fall Camo
, green tea sweetened by sugar substitutes and homemade low-fat milkshakes with artificial sweeteners. Before you go and guzzle down just any off-the-rack juice or drink, check the label for added sugar quantities and carb values – or better still, make your own refreshments using fresh milk, fruits and berries or your favorite tea blend with a pinch of xylitol or stevia.
Sugar-free waffles in times of dire sweet tooth need
In times of dire need for sweets while on a low-carb diet, home-made waffles can satisfy your need for snacks without adding extra inches to your waistline. To make low-carb waffles, you’ll need protein powder (1 ½ tablespoons), 6 eggs, cream (¼ cup), flax seed, almond flour and splenda (1 tablespoon each), vanilla and oil (1 tablespoon each), baking soda (1/8 teaspoon), baking powder (1/4 teaspoon) and a pinch of salt. Preheat your waffle maker, combine dry ingredients, then mix in wet ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture into the waffle maker and voila – your low-carb snack is crispy, delicious and ready for tasting.
Keeping carb intake in check doesn’t mean giving up sweet food altogether – by swapping you regular snack-munching sessions for occasional low-carb nibbles, you’ll avoid cravings and preserve dieting motivation until you reach your target weight.
