One of the most common questions we’re asked about quitting sugar is: “Don’t you crave lollies and chocolate” (Often the person will be waving a Snickers temptingly in our face at the time).
Truth is, we don’t really! Because once you’ve quit sugar, you’re able to treat yourself occasionally without spinning off into candy land.
You also learn how to make your own treats that don’t come with the sugar crash (and taste so much better than any Snickers ever did). Need more convincing? Try these nutritious alternatives to some of the candy classics.
1. Bounty Bars.
Coconut and chocolate… is there a better combination out there? These bounty bars are super simple to make and are filled with healthy fats to curb cravings.
2. Ferrero Rochers.
Crumbly on the outside, smooth on the inside and a crunch to finish off – these little bites of goodness are just as heavenly as their sugary brethren.
3. Caramel Slices.
If you need a recipe to knock your guests socks off, this IQS version of a caramel slice will do the job.
4. Ice Magic.
Same *crack* from the spoon. Different sugar content (none!).
5. Tim Tams.
Everyone’s favourite Aussie biscuit IQS-ified. Don’t worry, you can still sip your tea through one.
6. LCMs.
This one goes out to all the kids (or inner kids) out there. These rice bars are just as chewy as the store bought version, minus the crap.
7. Nutella.
With creamy hazelnuts, naturally sweet coconut and rich cacao, our hazelnutty spread is so much better than a certain sugary store-bought kind.
