“While the occasional sweet treat won’t hurt, consuming high levels of sugary foods can be harmful. Fortunately, there are tons of healthy swaps to make when your sugar cravings hit. These easy-to-make recipes with store cupboard ingredients hit the spot every time!

Wholesome Banana Ice Cream This nutritious ice cream recipe, also known as nice cream, is smooth, creamy, and satisfying, loaded with healthy vitamins and no added sugar!

Simply freeze a couple of bananas (peeled and chopped into chunks). After a few hours, take them out of the freezer and blend with unsweetened almond milk. Voilà!

Enjoy your ice cream as is, or get creative with different additions to recreate your favorite flavors. Here are some ideas:

• Frozen berries
• Dark chocolate chunks
• Peanut butter
• Vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder

Dark Chocolate Nut Bark This isn’t your average chocolate bar; this super simple recipe contains magnesium, antioxidants, vitamin E, zinc, and much more!

Start by chopping almonds and dried fruit into small pieces. Cover an oven tray with a sheet of baking paper. Melt dark chocolate (minimum 70%) in a bowl, then spread it over the baking sheet with a 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle your toppings over the chocolate and place it in the fridge to harden. After an hour, remove from the fridge, break up the bark, and enjoy your treat.

Energy-Packed Chocolate Chip Cookies A cookie craving can be hard to beat, but these energy balls can satisfy your craving in a healthy way. They’re high in energy, making them the ideal pre-workout snack.

Blend rolled oats, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chunks in a food processor until fully mixed. Roll into small balls (about 1 generous tablespoon per ball) and leave them in the fridge to set.

Homemade Popcorn At its core, popcorn is a healthy snack that’s filling and high in antioxidants. However, the ready-made kind can be loaded with unhealthy trans fats, sugar, and salt. The good news is, it’s easy, cost-effective, and healthy to make your own!

Simply heat up your pan and drop a few kernels before closing the lid. Once those kernels have popped, it’s time to add the rest and close the lid again. Your popcorn is ready once the popping slows to once every few seconds. At this point, take it off the heat and sprinkle it with some cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a very small amount of butter and salt.”
