Dessert Night!
If your family is anything like mine, after dinner, everyone needs something sweet. Most people opt for ice cream, cake, pie, or cookies. As much as people want to eat healthy, your sweet tooth can get the best of you. Well, I am here to offer you some healthy dessert alternatives.
Fruit salad with honey or whipped cream
Fruit with melted chocolate
You can put fruit on kabob sticks and drizzle with chocolate – fun for kids
Parfait – yogurt, granola, fruit topping
Chia seeds with milk – warm it up, add some sugar or honey, and voila
Doubles as a great breakfast
Rice cakes and peanut butter or almond butter
Baked apples with brown sugar
Smoothies
Granola bites
Celery with peanut or almond butter and raisins (or ants on a log, as my dad would say)
Dates (not the romantic kind) with cream cheese
This is not to say that you can’t have ice cream sundae night or a high sugar dessert. Everything is fine with moderation. Every night doesn’t need to be cake night, but Sunday’s can be. There are sugar-free and fat-free alternatives to most products. The above desserts are simple to make and include few ingredients.
