Healthy Dessert Recipes


I love dessert so I love coming up with healthy dessert recipes.

low fat chocolate recipes


To be honest, though, it is best to limit desserts to 1-2 times per week, especially if weight loss is a goal. This is because too many carbs and empty calories definitely are not healthy, and sugar in its refined form should be avoided as much as possible.

If you "need" to end your meal with something sweet, have a small dessert such as a homemade cookie, homemade fruit crisp, or a piece of 70% or higher dark chocolate. For more elaborate healthy and delicious dessert recipes to be used occasionally, see the recipes below.

Note that many dessert recipes can be converted into those that are better for you if you make a few small changes. The most important of these is to use butter (or try coconut oil) instead of any vegetable oil or margarine (as these contain very unhealthy hydrogenated oils) and to substitute a healthier sweetener for the sugar (or just try to decrease the sugar). Most of the other ingredients can also be swapped out for higher quality organic versions of the originals, and there you have it- easily transform your favorites.

The raw cookies are quite nutrient-dense and since they are also a live food, they can can be enjoyed on a more frequent basis. Cake (even organic cake), on the other hand, like other baked goods, should be saved for a special occasion.
