Something that is naturally sweet, like fresh fruit, dried fruit, or freeze-dried fruit chips-when you get sweetness from fruit, you get a lot more than just sweet flavour.
Satisfying a craving for sweets with a piece of fruit or cup of berries delivers vitamins, antioxidants and fibre along with the sweet taste. Plus, getting into a habit of reaching for fruit when you want something sweet is a great way to prevent calorie overload (think how much easier it is to tear through a big cookie than a bowl of juicy watermelon chunks). One word of warning regarding dried fruits: use them as accents to an unsweetened food (like adding chopping dried figs to plain yogurt or sprinkling chopped dried apricots onto unsweetened porridge) rather than on their own, since its easier to go overboard on dried fruit (which is dehydrated into a fraction of its original size, making each piece smaller than its fresh fruit equivalent.
