Sometimes you need something sweet. But rather than ruin your diet or set yourself up for a crash later with one of those donuts in the breakroom, try one of these.

18. Strawberries (basically any berry is a great choice, especially in summer!)

19. Apples with nut butter

26. Peanut Butter (try it on celery or fruit)

27. Snack Bars
