Healthy Dessert Ideas

I want to share my during the week healthy dessert ideas. In 1999, I cleaned up my diet to follow a low sugar Glycemic Index, low carb diet.  I lost 21 lbs. and kept it off for over 20 years.  There is one problem, I have a big sweet tooth! These are my top three desserts tips that help keep the weight off without feeling like I’m missing out.

Dark Chocolate Squares

When I get the sweet tooth urge, I love a few pieces of quality dark chocolate.  Lindt Intense Orange flavor is my favorite.  A little goes a long way in satisfaction. I have 2 squares which is a half of a serving.  Four squares is 190 calories.  Chocolate has many health benefits including antioxidants.  

Saturday Night Treat

Saturday night is where I allow myself a full strength real deal dessert!  Definitely mini is best, like me!  Small desserts like the mini red velvet cupcakes from Fresh Market are amazing.  When I’m out to dinner sharing is the best idea, it is good to share, especially when it comes to calories! 

I hope these healthy dessert ideas help you eat healthier and satisfy your sweet tooth.
