Four Guilt-Free Desserts to Curb Your Cravings

If you’ve got a sweet tooth before bed, you’re not alone. Fitness expert Jacob Zemer a fitness coach known for his no-nonsense approach to nutrition recently shared four go-to sweet treats that won’t wreck your progress. These options are high in protein, lower in sugar, and actually taste great.

1. Oikos Triple Zero

Greek yogurt is already a great go-to for protein, but throwing an Oikos Triple Zero in the freezer for about 15 minutes changes the game. The texture becomes creamy, almost like ice cream, but without the sugar overload. Plus, the macros are fantastic high protein, low sugar, and a great way to satisfy a late-night craving.

2. Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars

If you’re looking for an easy, pre-portioned option, Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars are a solid pick. Their most popular flavor is cookies and cream, but Jacob swears by the chocolate chip cookie dough. These bars are packed with protein, lower in sugar than traditional ice cream bars, and hit the spot when you need something sweet.

3. Mixed Berries with a High-Protein Twist

For a more natural option, grab a couple of cups of mixed berries, sprinkle some stevia over the top, and pour in a little low-calorie, high-protein milk (think Fairlife or another filtered milk with extra protein). The milk crystallizes slightly over the berries, giving it an almost dessert-like texture fresh, sweet, and packed with antioxidants.

4. Halo Top Ice Cream

Sometimes, you just need ice cream. Halo Top has been a go-to for high-protein, lower-calorie indulgence for years, and the peanut butter flavor is a standout. If you’re more of a cake-flavored fan, they’ve got some solid options there, too. Unlike traditional ice cream, you can eat a whole pint without racking up crazy calories.

The key to late-night snacking is finding treats that feel indulgent but still support your goals. Whether it’s frozen Greek yogurt, a protein-packed ice cream alternative, or a fresh berry mix, these options give you the best of both worlds…sweet satisfaction without the regret.
