4 Desserts That Feel Like Cheats!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fiber One for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Do you ever have a craving, an itch, a need for something sweet? If you choose carefully, you don’t have to say no to all the sweets that pass you by. Instead, just select better-for-you treats that will feel like you’re cheating, without the guilt! Here are 4 desserts that are perfect options for filling your sweet cravings.
Popcorn – I love popcorn as a dessert because you can have a few big scoops without a lot of calories. If you’ve really got the munchies, popcorn is the ticket! Lightly butter the kernels and skip the salt if you can.
Fruit Parfait – Layer a low-fat or non-fat yogurt between your favorite fruits like blueberries, apples, raspberries, strawberries, or grapes. You can make this dessert a bit different every time. It will give you that sweet while counting for a daily fruit serving.
Spinach Smoothies – You can pack just about any nutrient you need into a smoothie and still make it come out tasting great. Spinach is a perfect addition along with fruits as you likely won’t even notice the taste!
Fiber One Cheesecake Bars – Start with a layer of graham crackers and then fill up on a creamy cheesecake layer that is topped with either salted caramel or strawberry sweetness.
Or combine two of your favorites from above, like sweet and savory combo of popcorn and Fiber One Cheesecake Bars!
You can splurge for your slice of cheesecake wrapped up in a individually wrapped bar that helps you stay in a healthy portion size. Fiber One Cheesecake Bars contain 150 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 20 percent of the daily fiber recommendation (5 grams). You don’t have to say no to all desserts, all the time, you can splurge occasionally while still being responsible.

the Fiber One CHeesecake bars sure looks like it would be a fantastic dessert. Fun to know it’s a cheat.
omgg i just bought the cheesecake box yesterday. girl they are delic. i love them.
I love Fiber one bars. They come in such great flavors that taste so yummy!
These desserts all look so delicious. I am always looking for new snack ideas to try.
This looks like a great snack. I will have to pick some up this weekend to try.
I actually love the strawberry streusal bars from Fiber One!
Those all look so yummy! I will have to make that Fruit and Yogurt Parfait very soon!
We make popcorn every few nights and it seems like junk food. I guess it depends on the butter and salt. Those Fiber One bars look way too good.
I love fruit parfaits. I agree, they are practically a dessert for me- but without all the harsh calories.
I love those Fiber One treats. They really are treats and are so delicious. Plus, I love all the choices 🙂
With the strict diet I’m on, I’m desperate for some cheating. Thanks for sharing these as I can feel like I’m cheating even though I’m not by snacking on these!
I really want to try those Fiber one Cheesecake bars! We love the cookies they have!
I love dessert, so if you can show me a dessert that feels like a cheat, I am all over it! I love popcorn as well!
We have been trying to eat healthier too so desserts that feel like cheats are great! I love Fiber One bars too!
I am not a cheesecake fan personally, but my hubby is. I would do the fruit parfait myself, but these all look like great options!
Fiber One makes Mint Brownie bites that are Ah May Zing- and they are only 90 calories. These all look like great alternatives to actual cheats.
Those cheesecake bars look amazing. Cheesecake is my favorite, but I never eat it because of all the calories. THANK YOU!
I just picked up some of these cheesecake bars the other day, and they are fantastic! I get all the deliciousness of cheating with none of the guilt!
Those fiber one bars sound awesome. I am going to look out for those the next time I go grocery shopping.
These are all great ideas.I make smoothies several ti,es a week with fruit.I am not a big fan of spinach or kale but I throw in a handful and I can’t even taste it!
All of these are great Desserts that are low in calorie. I think my favorite would be the Fruit and Yogurt Parfait. Although the Fiber One Strawberry Cheesecake Bars look really good too. I’m going to have to try one of the Cheesecake Bars.
