Want a sweet treat that’s not overly indulgent? You’ve come to the right place. For years we’ve been working to crack the code on healthy desserts that are deliciously wholesome. Now, to us any dessert recipe consumed in moderation can still be part of a healthy diet. In general, we try to avoid the word healthy since it’s subjective and can be used by diet culture to promote mindsets based on guilt and shame. However, sometimes we’re looking for a treat that’s light but satisfies a sweet tooth at the end of a meal. So here’s a list of our top healthy dessert recipes that are lighter than most and still taste splurge-worthy! Our criteria for a “healthy” treat: a sweet recipe that’s based on wholesome ingredients like oats, nut butters, yogurts, fruits, and even vegetables, or one that has a smaller serving size than a standard dessert.
