2. Fresh Fruit
Fresh fruit makes another great alternative to pastries and cookies. While fruit does not provide the same texture as pastries, it still gives the eater a burst of sweetness that can ease that need for sugar. Fruit is a great food because not only is it rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but it also contains high amounts of fiber, which is essential for dieters and people concerned about the development of certain types of cancer. While fresh fruit will most likely provide the best taste, recent research has found that frozen berries and other fruits contain the same amounts of vitamins, minerals and fiber as their fresh alternatives.
