Watching Weight and Looking for Low Calorie and Healthy Deserts?

 Healthy eating and deserts? Deserts are dense with calories and so, not good for your health – these are advices that you keep receiving from fitness freak friends. But little do they know that there are low-calorie deserts to pamper one’s sweet desire. These deserts are just like healthy protein snacks, promoting weight loss and promising your overall wellbeing.

 

Some people have a serious sweet tooth. They feel great pain in being asked to bid adieu to deserts for healthy eating. But now the dieticians have comforting advice for them - “Deserts can be healthy as well”. You will be surprised to know the range of varieties that come under the category of “Healthy & Nutritious Deserts”. A sweet treat for you does not necessarily mean encouraging unhealthy eating.

 

If you are looking for some sweet satisfactions that will not add to your kilos or give an unwanted push to your blood sugar level, here is a list of recommendations:

 

Energy Bites: These are the best sweet treats one can think about. Energy bars are the go-and-grab solutions to perk up your moods and energy in just a few seconds. These are easy to make for quick sweet indulgence and are often considered one of the best homemadesnacks for diabetes. Give the familiar taste a healthy and crunchy twist by throwing in some nutrition-rich add-ins like peanut butter, cocoa, nuts, dates, apricots, etc.

 

Dark Chocolate: The undying sweet obsession for many of those deep in love with desert delights! These dark fantasies pack in several health benefits.  They are dense with fiber and fats-two nutrients. They fill you up and kill your hunger for hours. Check the percentage of cocoa content: the higher it is, the greater the benefits will be. Pair a few squares of dark chocolate with frozen yogurt or a handful of almonds for extra protein intake.

 

Fruits with Whipped Yogurt or Cream: The fruit bites with every dig into the creamy choice – that makes a lovely pair to fall in love with. Toss some pieces of dark chocolates or a handful of almonds in fresh yogurt or low-calorie whipped cream for the no-harm sweet extravaganza. Honey topping will make the presentation more teasing and appetizing. A dreamy blend of health and deserts on the same platter!

 

Baked Apple with Nuts: Nutty crunchiness is the super-naughty choice for your sweet indulgence and healthy eating as well. Baked apples with walnut topping look the perfect pairing high in fiber and healthy fats. Strawberries with lovely drizzles of dark chocolate and peanut butter – a fine combo of fat and fiber to satisfy your guilt-free sweet craving!

Want to Lose Weight? Take Protein-Rich Vegan Diets

You still have a lot of options to gorge on protein-rich foods, lose your fat, and stay slim. What is a vegan diet? Veganism is becoming popular. It could be due to the fact that many celebrities (mostly silver screen stars) and social media influencers have adopted veganism. Keep in mind that vegetarianism and veganism are not the same; the latter is most restrictive in the sense that it promotes abstinence from using all types of animal-based products in foods, clothing, and cosmetics.
