Read More »Overview When looking for a healthy dessert, it’s important to note that what one person considers “healthy,” another wouldn’t. For instance, someone who avoids gluten may not be too concerned about sugar content, and someone watching their carbs might still be pro-dairy. Each dessert should be weighed against your own health goals. Still, there’s something on this list for everyone! 1. Frozen Mango, Kiwi, Raspberry Fruit Pops Frozen fruit treats like these pops from SkinnyTaste are a great way to beat the summer heat. They have a little bit of sugar added, but you could just as easily leave it out if you like things a bit more tart. Not only are these pops refreshing, but the mango, kiwi, and raspberries each contribute a good amount of vitamin C. 2. Applesauce Share on Pinterest Cookie and Kate’s homemade version of a childhood favorite uses maple syrup or honey as the sweetener. Cinnamon adds extra flavor as well as antioxidants. Eat it on its own or use it as a topping for other foods. It’s best when made with local, in-season apples. 3. Secret Fruit Salad Fruit salad is a classic healthy dessert, but this berry-based recipe from Rachel Schultz has a secret. Hint: It’s in the dressing. 4. 3 Ingredient Banana Cups They may look like peanut butter cups, but inside is a banana surprise! These banana cups from My Whole Food Life are both easy to make and a great way to beat a chocolate craving. 5. Chocolate Banana Bites These frozen treats from Whole Food Bellies are dairy-free and made with unsweetened cocoa powder. Similar to the banana cups, the recipe requires very little work for a very sweet reward. 7. No-Bake Energy Bites You want dessert, but you also want to stay committed to wellness. This recipe from Gimme Some Oven allows you to do just that without even turning on the oven. These bites are loaded with tasty ingredients such as shredded coconut, peanut butter, and semisweet chocolate chips. 11. Breakfast Cookies Can you make cookies with just two ingredients? The answer is yes. Check out this base recipe from Cafe Delites and then get ready for some creative cookie-ing. Add dried fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts if you have them — feel free to make this batch your own! 13. Healthy Cookie Dough Blizzard If you’re tempted to hit your favorite ice cream spot, freeze! Try this healthy hack from Nutrition in the Kitch instead. Using frozen bananas for the dairy-free “ice cream” base, this option will do far less harm to your healthy efforts than the fast-food version.
