4 Healthy Desserts to Enjoy

When it comes to eating a healthy diet, the hardest thing for many is resisting the temptation of delicious desserts that are loaded with extra fat, calories, and sugar. If you know a little bit about what types of foods are healthy you can easily make your own sweet snacks after dinner that are healthy for you.

Here are four easy ideas to try:

1. Fruit & yogurt parfait

A fruit and yogurt parfait will satisfy the sweet cravings without a lot of added fat or sugar. And if you use a yogurt that’s low in sugar and has live active cultures it’s good for you too! To make, simply layer your favorite fresh fruits with a no added sugar yogurt of your choice.

2. Frozen yogurt

Frozen yogurt can be made simply by freezing plain yogurt. If you love ice cream, but want something slightly healthier for you, enjoying a frozen treat may be the perfect thing. As long as the sugar content is not high, it’s a good source of calcium and protein.

3. Frozen banana bites

Another great frozen treat is to take a banana, slice it, and then cover it in peanut butter. Roll the banana in crushed nuts and then freeze wrapped in wax paper for 1-2 hours. Don’t like nuts? You might enjoy it frozen plain!

4. Baked apples

  • This is an easy recipe to make. All you need is an apple that is cored and sliced in half and top it with cinnamon, natural sugar, and your favorite granola topping.
  • Bake it for 10-15 minutes or until the apples are softened. You can also microwave it for 5-6 minutes instead.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean huge sacrifices. With these easy ideas you can make your own healthy desserts to enjoy as an after dinner treat.
