sugar cravings

[enderfem]

This may sound odd, but I have a sugar habit. I don't eat a TON of it, but I need something sweet at least once a day or it BUGS me. So, in addition to things like the WW mini bars, etc., (which are a bit pricey) I discovered another good trick.

Teas.

I get really sweet teas (not Southern Ice Tea sweet) from Republic of Tea. Things like Coconut White Tea, or Sweet Almond Tea, or even Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Tea. It works! I have a cup of one of these teas, and it satisfies my craving and has 0 points. Plus, it might be cold where you are right now (not me, I live in Miami) so hot tea is a bonus!

Wow, that is a great idea, enderfem! I love tea so I am surprised I didn't think of this. It's probably cuz I only ever go for the chai green tea. So these are tea bags, right? And yup, it's getting pretty cold here, so perfect timing to try this!

Yeah, they're the tea bags. The two I named are the sweetest I've tried recently, but I'm sure you can find a lot more.
