When I first started limiting sugar-laden junk food and overly processed meals, there were certain foods that helped curb cravings. Many of these are not foods or drinks to be consumed on a regular basis (mostly because of sugar content from dried fruits or concentrated fruit juice), but I still think they are healthier than sodas and 3 Musketeers and do not seem to be nearly as addictive. I've listed the food I craved or missed and what I consumed instead.
Candy bars: KIND bars, especially the Walnut + Date. These are really sweet and oh so good!
Gatorade/Powerade: Water with Crystal Light Pure Fitness. I wanted a drink without artificial color, but most of the water flavorings have aspartame, which I'm also avoiding. Crystal Light Pure Fitness is the first one I found without aspartame.
Hard Candy: Yummy Earth Lollipops. They are still pure sugar, but there's no artificial colors or flavors.
Snack Cakes: Larabars. It's hard to go wrong with flavors like peanut butter cookie, pecan pie, and coconut cream pie, especially when they really do taste like the baked goods they're meant to imitate. The bars are sweetened with dried dates.
I was not compensated in any way for this post. I'm just giving my opinion of what worked for me.
