We’re always told not to eat late at night, but sometimes our cravings are too hard to fight. Eating late at night isn’t a problem as long as you’re eating something that’s healthy. Here are some healthy alternatives for late-night cravings that you don’t have to feel bad about eating.
If You’re Craving Chocolate
Chocolate is full of sugar and eating too much before bed isn’t a great idea. Instead of reaching for a candy bar or ice cream, make yourself a hot chocolate with cacao powder and milk.
If You’re Craving Salty
You probably have too much sodium in your diet, so opt for veggies and hummus. Vegetables are a natural way to get sodium and to solve your cravings.
If You’re Craving a Sweet Snack
When you’re craving a snack, choose fresh fruit and pair it with a healthy fat like a scoop of almond butter or peanut butter.
If You’re Craving Ice Cream
Instead of eating ice cream, make “Nice” cream which is made from frozen bananas, protein powder, and cacao. If you want, try adding some peanut butter and cacao nibs for an extra special treat.
