Sweets have to be limited when on a diet, and a diet can be prescribed not only to combat excess weight.

People with chronic illnesses also have to get used to the idea that accessible sweets will have to be forgotten.

In such cases, it is worth knowing that there are several healthy options that replace delicious sweets.

Baked apples

You can simply bake apples, or you can stuff them with nuts, cottage cheese, oatmeal - it all depends on the situation.

The best option is apples with cinnamon.

This is not only a delicious dessert, but also an opportunity to normalize blood sugar levels.

Dark chocolate

If chocolate contains at least 70% cocoa, it can be consumed even on a diet.

Typically, such chocolate either does not contain sugar at all, or contains no more than 15% sugar.

Fruit chips

In essence, these can be the same baked apples, only pre-cut into thin slices.

Fruits will become even tastier and healthier if you bake them with cinnamon, ginger, nuts and other spices. The snack will be good for blood vessels, heart and digestion.

Paste

It is better if it is homemade pastila. It can be made from sweet fruits or pumpkin.

Interestingly, all these products can be consumed with tea or coffee without worrying about the consequences.
