Healthy After-Dinner Snack Ideas: Our Cofounder Interviewed for Molly Sims

The Healthiest After-Dinner Snacks To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Anyone with a sweet tooth can relate to after-dinner cravings for sweets. Do I raid the freezer for ice cream? The pantry for cookies? What about that left-over slice of cake in the fridge? (Ahem: us, to ourselves, every day.)

Indulging in a favorite dessert is (quite literally) a treat — but if you’re looking for healthier snacks that will satisfy your sweet tooth, we have good news! There are options ranging from nut-butters and fruits to smoothies, and more.

“This is a great hack and something we should all just have on hand,” says Thomson, who is based in Orinda, Calif. “It’s super easy and requires no prep — except the foresight to put them in the freezer a few hours prior to the craving — and it satisfies the sweet tooth. Zero guilt. Loads of antioxidants and a little fiber.”
