To say I have a sweet tooth is a serious understatement. If it was socially acceptable and not completely horrible for me, I would happily eat chocolate for every meal.
But (sigh) it is neither… so here I am, stuck between a rock and a sweet tooth. What I want is dessert – all day everyday. But what I need is something that isn’t packed with sugar, fat and calories, artificial flavors and preservatives, so that I don’t feel guilty indulging whenever the cravings strike (why didn’t anyone warn me that breastfeeding = constant cravings and ravenous hunger… like even worse than when I was pregnant?!).
Luckily, I recently discovered that one of our favorite brands, perfectlyfree® sells these ridiculously delicious frozen bites that taste like dessert – except without all the bad stuff. They’re golf ball sized treats with a sweet, chewy coating and a frozen, creamy ice cream-like center that’s actually dairy-free (can I get a “hallelujah” from my lactose intolerant friends?). They come in five different flavors, including Mint Chocolate, Salted Caramel Vanilla, Cocoa Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry and Orange Creme. If I had to pick a favorite, I think I’d go with the Salted Caramel Vanilla or the Cocoa Vanilla, but I honestly love every flavor. They’re super creamy inside and super sweet all around, which means they check every box when those cravings set in.
And get this: Each bite is just 30 calories! Plus, they’re void of any genetically modified ingredients, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives, and they don’t contain any animal products. Seriously, somebody pinch me.
And if you were so inclined to share (if so, you’re a better person than I…), the bites make the perfect treat for kids. They’re big 8 allergy-friendly products that are manufactured in a dedicated free-from facility, which means you never have to worry about allergic reactions for your littles or their friends.
