Guilt-less Pleasure!!

So let’s face it, when it comes to your taste buds ‘just saying no’ is not so easy! Whether you’re trying to lose weight or just generally trying to eat healthy, when you’re eyes lock on with that cookie or cake, it’s like Medusa! Your instantly in a trance and your mind triggers the taste bud memory and it takes a very large amount of will power to look away! BUT what if we can eat the very things we love without the guilt? Guilt-less pleasure is Very hard to come by so I thought I’d share with you a few I have found!

I have a Peanut Butter and Oreo love!!

And found alternative ‘healthier’ options to the real thing!

First up: PB2!

ALL Natural dried roasted peanuts with NO Artificial sweeteners or preservatives!

And I buy this all the time, it tastes pretty darn good, only downfall is you have to make it each time you want a serving, you have to add water and mix it.

Real peanut butter (2TBSP portion):

190 calories

16 grams of fat

Saturated: 3

PB2 (2TBSP portion)

45 Calories

1.5 grams of fat

Saturated: 0

They also have a chocolate PB2 (which I haven’t tried yet).

Second: Who-NU! A nutrition filled cookie???…and to be honest I barely taste the difference!

Now before I get any hate mails, I know some people have stated that compared to oreo’s there is apparently not much difference, HOWEVER, there is No nutritional value to a regular oreo, compared to the added fiber and vitamins of Who-NU. If I was going to have a craving, I would rather have some substance than none.  Now I wouldn’t stop eating veggies and oatmeal or eat the whole box just yet though, added vitamins have a much lower value than the real thing, there are many factors to what your body breaks down and absorbs.
