I know I usually give you a dessert recipe for my  blog posts, but recently I haven't been baking so much as to try and get in better shape.   Just because I am being more careful with what I am eating and working out more doesn't mean I have lost my sweet tooth cravings.  For all of you that get that need for sugar before bedtime, here are a few healthy, sweet alternatives to my usual indulgences.

Make your own yummy fruit salad:

any  fruit you have around the house topped with yummy soft coconut flakes or with Chef Chloe's vegan whipped creme (http://chefchloeblog.weebly.com/): 1 14-ounce can of full fat coconut milk, chilled 2/3 cup powdered sugar 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped

or

a whole wheat or gluten-free waffle with any nut spread drizzled with dark chocolate

or

break of a small piece of your favorite dairy-free chocolate
