Greek Yogurt With Honey
Greek yogurt is a protein-rich food that’s full of gut-healthy probiotics. And while yogurt may not seem like a decadent dessert, you can jazz it up with a few drops of raw honey, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Just be sure to choose plain yogurt and not flavored varieties, which are usually filled with sugar.
Dark Chocolate
Containing a wealth of antioxidants, dark chocolate is the tempting treat you can have every day. The key to incorporating dark chocolate into your diet is to limit yourself to one or two small pieces and to choose the variety with the most bitter cacao content you can handle. Generally speaking, chocolate with 72 percent cacao or higher is healthiest.
Cheese
There is evidence that full-fat dairy products can actually help you lose weight. The trick is selecting cheeses that are better for weight loss: feta, cottage cheese, cheddar, Swiss, and parmesan cheese lead the way.
Fresh Fruit
Fresh fruits like berries, kiwi, pineapple, and grapes satisfy your sweet tooth and are a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. If you find it difficult to view fruit as sinfully delicious, try whipping a bowl of fresh fruit and adding coconut shavings and a scoop of granola for added flavor and texture.
