5 Sweet Treat Alternatives for the Holidays

Don’t worry, we’re not here to tell you that all Christmas cookies are evil. We’re all for the occasional indulgence. But, if you’re looking for an alternative to satisfy those cravings for sweet treats without the guilt that follows, take our advice. We’ve pulled together this list of healthier indulgences that you’re sure to love this holiday. From all of us at thinkThin®, have a happy, healthy holiday!

1. Make a healthy parfait. Skip the ice cream and whip up a simple and tasty parfait with low fat yogurt, fresh fruit, raw nuts and top it off with a touch of honey.

2. Grilled pineapple. Take a few slices of fresh or canned pineapple and put it on the grill for a tasty and guilt-free dessert. Top it off with a little chocolate sauce for added sweetness.

3. Cook your favorites, with a twist. Swap butter for a lighter option like Earth Balance, replace refined white sugar with honey, and use whole grain flour over white whenever possible. Your guests will never know the difference!

4. Skip dessert. Instead, enjoy your favorite thinkThin® protein bar or thinkThin® bite to keep you satisfied without the guilt.

5. Surprise Santa. Leave Santa some thinkThin® bites instead of cookies this year. After all, he could use a little portion control!
