Instead of reaching for desserts on a regular basis, I choose a Diet Coke.
I LOVE sweets. I could eat them everyday but instead I consider Diet Coke my everyday treat. I try to pair it with healthier snacks like popcorn or fruit. In fact you will notice me sharing random pictures of my Diet Coke + snack often on Instagram.
I’ve been LOVING plums lately and they pair nicely with Diet Coke!
And of course popcorn always works well. Have you tried the new Sea Salt and Garlic kind? So Yummy!
Of course I still love to splurge and have a yummy sweet with my Diet Coke – just not all the time.
My Halloween Time treat at Disneyland was awesome – doesn’t it look awesome. I can’t wait to go back to Disneyland and enjoy a special Mickey Mouse rice krisipie treat with a Diet Coke!
Do you use Diet Coke as a reward or daily splurge in your life?

Becca - My Crazy Good Life says
Yum! I’ll take one of each, please!
Isn’t it funny how sitting down with a Coke can make your day better? Or is that just me… 😉
Karen says
Seriously one of everything everyday 🙂
Jenny says
I used to love Diet Coke! I cut out all artificial sweeteners in February and haven’t had one since! But I still think about nearly every single day! LOL.
Karen says
LOL. I get that, many people have started cutting them out. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t drop my Diet Coke though. GOod for you on sticking to your goal though!
Little Miss Kate says
I am a chocoholic, so nothing can replace a chocolate fix for me 🙂
Karen says
Yum! I love chocolate too but I just can’t have it everyday – I wish I could. 🙂
Gena says
I can’t let go of my sugar, but I’m glad you’ve found a great alternative!!
Karen says
I know others stick with the sugar too, I’ve been converted to Diet Coke for so long that regular Coke is sickeningly sweet to me now!
Amanda Sleeth says
Diet coke is my fav! I am trying to cut out soda (even diet) so it is a rare treat for me now… but oh how I miss it!
Karen says
It is a nice treat though 🙂
Jeannette says
Diet Coke used to be my fav but I’m trying to give up caffeine – Lord help me! I miss it so much!
Karen says
I hear ya! It was rough when I was pregnant! Somehow the diet caffeine free just doesn’t taste the same!
Susie B. Homemaker says
I don’t drink much pop (yes I’m from the north, lol) but when I do I’m more of a Dr. Pepper girl. I am definitely a fan of eating sweets though! 😉
Denise at Life With Four Boys...Coffee Please says
You and Diet Coke!
Mine is coffee. Always is a good time for coffee. Good coffee. 🙂
Daniela says
I use coffee with creamer as a treat! It satisfied my sugar cravings. Also pair my fruit with some protein. Such an apple with turkey deli meat or 10 raw almonds.
