Who says you have to give up sweets to stick to a low-carb lifestyle? With a few smart swaps and creative ideas, you can enjoy all the sweetness without the sugar overload. In honor of National Peanut Butter Day, we’re sharing a fun twist on a classic PB&J along with tips for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying on track.

Smart Tips for Enjoying Sweets While Staying Low Carb

• Choose Low-Glycemic Sweeteners: Look for jams or jellies sweetened with stevia or monk fruit instead of sugar. These options give you the flavor you love without the sugar spike.

• Opt for Natural Peanut Butter: Many peanut butter brands sneak in added sugars, so stick to options with no added sugar—just peanuts and salt.

• Get Creative with Fruit: Fresh berries are a great way to add natural sweetness while keeping it low carb. Mash them up for a jam-like texture or add them as toppings.

• Experiment with Sweet-Savory Combos: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, cinnamon, or crushed nuts on top for extra flavor depth. It’s a delicious way to balance sweetness and texture.
