Craving a little something sweet after dinner is a universal experience, and late night treats don't have to be a bad thing! Whether you're winding down after a long day or enjoying a cozy night in, these sweet recipes are the perfect guilt free solution. Packed with protein and low on refined sugar, these desserts will satisfy your sweet treat without the stomachache. Just click on any of the photos below to see the full recipes.
These 'snickers' stuffed dates are as good as they look. These are the treats for you if you love a candy bar but are looking for less sugar. I'm not saying they taste exactly like a snickers but they will definitely hit that late night sweet treat spot.
These protein bites are one of my favorite things to prep and keep in the fridge for when those snack cravings hit. The combination of white chocolate and raspberry is so fresh and fun but you can swap those flavors out for anything that sounds good. Maybe peanut butter and mini m&m's...?
I can never get enough chocolate, and this chocolate pudding is one of my favorite protein snacks to keep prepped in the fridge. I'm not the biggest fan of Greek yogurt but I have found some easy ways to mask the taste if you're picky too. Adding in a little sugar free pudding mix makes it taste exactly like pudding or mixing in a little honey or maple syrup eases the tartness.
One of the never ending disagreements in my house... can you eat raw cookie dough? (my vote is absolutely yes) Well this recipe takes away any hesitation because it is designed to be eaten raw. There are no eggs and the high protein content comes from blended cottage cheese, don't knock it until you try it cottage cheese is really having a moment.
These protein packed rice crispies are a fun twist on a classic. Sometimes you just need a childhood treat, it's just a bonus that these have some hidden benefits. They have all of the nostalgic flavors just with a little less sugar and a little more protein.
Sleepy girl mocktails are one of my favorite trends from the sober curious movement. Sometimes that late night sweets craving can be completely satiated with a fun drink. These tart cherry mocktails not only taste great, they're also made up of ingredients that will help you have a better night's sleep like magnesium and tart cherry juice.
Yum, Yum, Yum!!!!!
