Healthy Alternatives for Sugar Cravings (PMS Edition)
Because the cravings are real—and we deserve sweet things that don’t wreck our progress.
I’ve been hit with serious sweet tooth vibes lately (PMS, I see you), so I wanted to share the sugar-friendly finds I grabbed during my last grocery run. These have seriously helped me stay on track while still feeling like I’m treating myself!

Rich, chocolatey, and so close to the real deal. I’m usually satisfied after 3—it’s that good.

These are my ride or die. Same bold fruity taste (grape, green apple, raspberry, watermelon), but shaped like cough drops. Just wish they had blue raspberry!!
