Bitter, but sweet
To the greatest relief of sweetmeats, you will not have to part with chocolate. An important clarification is that the content of cocoa beans in it should be at least 75%. Of course, no additives and fillings. Bitter chocolate contains the least sugar and calories, compared to milk and white. The active substances in its composition raise the tone, improve memory and concentration, cheer up no worse than coffee. In addition, bitter chocolate is rich in magnesium, which acts as an antidepressant and helps to fight bad mood. And this element gently relieves muscle spasms, which is not uncommon when doing sports. The most difficult thing is not to get carried away with this delicacy. Those who selflessly lose weight, nutritionists are allowed to eat no more than 20 g of chocolate a day.
Fruit with aging
Dried fruits are a real salvation for sweet lovers. To guarantee a healthy product without chemical additives, choose dried fruits “Semushka”. The fact that these are natural fruits of the highest quality is indicated by a pleasant natural aroma and a bright rich taste. Royal dates with a high fructose content will replace sweets. They help to strengthen the enamel of teeth and have a beneficial effect on the nervous system. You can alternate them with dried apricots. It is proved that the concentration of vitamins and minerals in dried apricots is much higher than in fresh fruits. In addition, they remove toxins from the body and serve as a prevention of anemia. Raisins of all varieties are famous for their high content of B vitamins, which are necessary for losing weight in the first place. They stimulate the work of the intestines, help to better cope with stress, take part in energy metabolism. These and many other dried fruits can be found in the brand line “Semushka”. They are optimally suited for healthy snacks. The main thing is that the portion does not exceed 30-40 g.
Cookies with pure benefits
Dried fruits are also beautiful because they make the most delicious low-calorie pastries. Knead 2 ripe bananas into a pulp. Add 80 g of soft low-fat cottage cheese, 3 tablespoons of natural yogurt and semolina, pour 200 g of oat flakes, knead well and leave for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour boiling water over 50 g of prunes “Semushka”, dry on a paper towel, chop with thin strips and mix in the banana-oatmeal base. If there is not enough sweetness, you can add a little honey or maple syrup. The resulting mass is put in the refrigerator for half an hour, after which we mold cookies with wet hands, spread them on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 10-15 minutes. You can treat yourself to such cookies for breakfast or as a snack before lunch.
Air kiss
Natural marshmallows do not cause any complaints from nutritionists. But be careful when choosing it in the store. This marshmallow is made from fruit or berry puree with the addition of whipped proteins and natural thickeners — pectin, agar-agar or gelatin. Give preference to a delicacy of white, cream or pale yellow color. This is a guarantee that no artificial dyes were added to the marshmallows. Such a product is not only delicious, but also useful. It is known that pectin gently soothes the irritated intestinal mucosa and adjusts the work of the entire digestive system. Having absorbent properties, it is like a sponge that deeply absorbs harmful substances and removes them from the body. The recommended portion of marshmallows per day should not exceed 50-60 g.
A sweet moment froze
If you remove protein from the marshmallow composition, you will get another useful delicacy-marmalade. It is also based on natural fruit and berry puree. It contains the main benefits in the form of vitamins, micro-and macronutrients, antioxidants, organic acids. Natural gelling additives add valuable properties to marmalade. Pectin spurs the metabolism, improves the functioning of the liver and pancreas. Agar-agar increases the production of iodine in the body. Gelatin reduces the formation of harmful bacteria in the mouth, strengthens joints and connective tissues. Remember, real marmalade has a natural, not too bright shade. Only natural dyes, such as cumin, beta-carotene, chlorophyllin or carmine, are allowed in its composition.
A delicate thing
Another useful sweetness from fruits and berries is pastila. Fruit lavash “Semushka” can be included in the diet even by those who accurately calculate every calorie. The brand line includes three flavors of lavash of its own production: dried apricots, plums and cranberries with plum. All of them are prepared according to the classical technology and contain only natural dried fruits and water.

Fruit lavash “Semushka” is perfect for a late snack, when a hunger attack suddenly made itself felt after dinner, and you do not want to break the regime. One tube of lavash is just enough to calm the raging appetite and not be tempted by harmful delicacies.
The cold charm of berries

Since they are made from fresh fruits and berries, all the valuable properties are preserved in their original form. Low calorie content also can not but please.
