How long does it take you to eat a cookie or a chocolate bar? Maybe 30 seconds? You\u2019re left feeling like you could have about five more before you even start to feel full. While I love those treats\u2014and do indulge in them\u2014I alternate them with low-calorie sweets that I can savor for longer. Here are some of my favorites, ranging from 125 to 165 calories.<\/p>\n

\"biscotti<\/a><\/p>\n

Biscotti dipped in tea<\/strong>. I just had one, in fact, and timed myself: Nearly four minutes! Dip the tip of the cookie, let it cool a little, bite, chew (chewing takes even longer if it contains nuts, as my 125-calorie chocolate hazelnut variety did), have a sip or two of tea, repeat. They\u2019re not hard to make, as you can see from this Chocolate Dried Cranberry recipe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Homemade strawberry shortcake<\/strong>. I slice a 3-inch square piece of store-bought cornbread in half lengthwise, spread each piece with strawberry jam (about a teaspoon total) and slather on 1\/3 cup 0 percent Greek yogurt mixed with a teaspoon of honey. Then I top the pieces with 1\/3 cup strawberries. I haven\u2019t timed myself, but this must take at least twice as long to eat as a cookie. <\/p>\n

Hot chocolate<\/strong>. It takes a while to cool, so you have to take small sips and wait awhile in between. Give our vegan version<\/a><\/strong> a try!<\/p>\n

Fruit with vanilla yogurt<\/strong>. Dip about a cup of apples, peaches, strawberries or any other fruit in a half-cup of vanilla yogurt. Take your time to really chew the fruit.<\/p>\n

Pistachios<\/strong>. Healthy enough to be a snack, delicious enough to be a treat. Opening up those shells and coaxing out the nuts takes a nice, long while, but the calories are meager (just 118 calories for 30 nuts<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n
