Have you ever just finished a delicious full course meal, you are stuffed, but still craving something a little on the sweet side. You keep good company.

Now you can conquer your dreams of something sweet, with something healthier, low-calorie, and delicious.

While there appear to be no conclusive answers about why this craving occurs, there are theories.

Perhaps it is from your childhood. Were you bribed to eat your green beans with the promise of some ice cream? Not uncommon.

The scientist’s claim it has to do with those pesky neurotransmitters. Adding a little sugar to our palette following dinner raises the absorption rate of the amino acid tryptophan which in turn increases our serotonin. The feel-good chemical. We feel full, satisfied and life is good.

Other individuals can experience reactive hypoglycemia. Eating a meal high in carbohydrates can cause your sugar to crash hours later, instigating that reach for a donut.

It is easier to stick to healthy eating when you have a back up plan. These five healthy low calorie desserts may just kick that sugar craving to the curb.
