It's Girl Scout Cookie time! Noshing on these fundraising treats seems like an American pastime, but it can be challenging to keep a snack session of these seasonal sweets in check. If you can enjoy your cookies in a reasonable manner, then good for you! But if you're looking for a way to scratch that sugary itch without killing your healthy eating agenda, here are some healthier alternatives.

Do-Si-Dos
Two cookies serving: 120 calories, 5 g of fat, 7 g of sugar

Quick Fix: The Larabar Peanut Butter Cookie is a perfect substitute since it's so filling — I usually only eat half of a bar at a time. One bar contains 220 calories, 7 g protein, and 4 g of fiber. Made out of dried dates, one bar equals 1/2 serving of fruit. There are 18 g of sugar in this bar, but the sugar content is not added; it naturally occurs in the dates. The other two ingredients in this bar are peanuts and salt.

DIY Fix: Make your own tasty peanut butter treat! Blend a little peanut butter, apple sauce and raisins for a sweet, satisfying, and nutritious homemade spread. Two tablespoons of this peanut butter raisin spread offers almost 5 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber.
