I can eat a packet of Tim Tam&#8217;s or smash a bowl of ice cream without trouble. I crave to. But within 15 minutes I feel horrible. It&#8217;s not guilt or a sugar spiking energy crash, my stomach just feels sick. My body feels as though I&#8217;ve put the wrong thing in it. Like going to a gas \/ petrol station and putting diesel in a car that runs on petrol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do I balance my sweet cravings with real food? Invariable, I make my own\u00a0chocolate, roll my own\u00a0bliss balls\u00a0or make sweeter smoothies. The latter can be made in the afternoon or evening too. Let&#8217;s not typecast smoothies\u00a0people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key ingredient to a healthy sweet is dates. I buy the dried pitted ones, because I&#8217;m a Tight @ss Tim. The upperclass medjool&#8217;s look better in stores and on blog recipes, but I keeps-it-real. For me that&#8217;s in the middle of the afternoon or after dinner. You can always use less liquid and make these into smoothie bowls if you want a great dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, don&#8217;t be afraid to add some greens in too. I try to add spinach to all my smoothies, especially the sweeter ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pecan Pie Smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Takes 5 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Makes 1 serving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frozen banana &#8211; 1 1\/2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pecans &#8211; 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pitted dates &#8211; 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vanilla paste &#8211; 1 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numeg &#8211; 1\/2 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cinnamon &#8211; 1 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sea salt &#8211; 1\/2 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ice &#8211; 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almond milk &#8211; 1 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional &#8211; Spinach &#8211; 2 cups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blend until creamy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salted Caramel Smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Takes 4 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Makes 1 serving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frozen banana &#8211; 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pitted dates &#8211; 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sea salt &#8211; small pinch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vanilla &#8211; 1\/2 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coconut water &#8211; 1 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional &#8211; Spinach &#8211; 2 cups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blend until creamy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biggest threat to my diet is sugar.
