Dried fruit is often not the best choice since it is quite calorie-dense and can easily be overeaten, but if you're craving something SWEET and CHEWY such as gummy candy, this is a real food substitute that will provide some vitamins, minerals, and fiber along with the sugar you're consuming.

Toasted seaweed might sound like an odd substitute for chips, but it honestly does the trick for me in terms of satisfying a SALTY, CRUNCHY craving! Sea vegetables are rich in minerals including iodine, which some of us lack, especially if we use sea salt rather than iodized salt.

Nuts can be a great, healthy solution for a CRUNCHY or SALTY craving, but beware of store-bought nut mixes. They are often extremely high in salt and keep you munching one handful after another until the whole bag is gone. If you make them at home, you can control the amount of seasonings.

Call me crazy... but when roasted Brussels sprouts first come out of the oven, the brown and crispy outer layer can really satisfy a craving for SALTY, CRUNCHY chips for me!! In addition to the texture, the outer layer has usually also ended up with more of the olive oil, salt and pepper used as seasoning. So, have your "chips" when the sprouts are fresh out of the oven... then eat the inner part later on as your veggies!

If you looooooove chips and salsa, then go ahead and have some!! As long as you can limit yourself to a reasonable portion... which I know is an issue for some people (including me). Due to the salt tortilla chips carry and the impact of corn on blood sugar, they can be really difficult to stop eating. If you have issues with corn as well, try these paleo tortilla chips made with almond flour.

Flavored yogurt is usually loaded with sugar. If you use fresh fruit, you can capture the natural sweetness without needing to add sugar (they aren't using the ripest and sweetest, best-quality fruit when making the fruit mix-ins for packaged yogurt). Make your own flavored yogurt by stirring in some fruit puree to satisfy a CREAMY craving for a dessert like tiramisu or even just one of those flavored yogurt packs.
