Desserts are often synonymous with sweet, creamy and delicious, but that doesn’t mean they always have to be unhealthy. In this blog article, we share five delectable desserts that will not only delight your taste buds, but are also a healthy option. Enjoy these treats guilt-free, as they are filled with nutritious ingredients and tasty alternatives to traditional sugar bombs
Fruity yoghurt parfait
Start with a layer of Greek yoghurt, rich in protein, calcium and probiotics. Then add layers of freshly sliced strawberries, blueberries and pieces of mango for natural sweetness and an explosion of antioxidants. Sprinkle with a handful of nuts and seeds for a crunchy texture and healthy fats.
Avocado chocolate mousse
Combine the creaminess of avocados with the blissful flavour of dark chocolate to create a decadent mousse. Add some honey or maple syrup as sweetener and top it off with grated coconut or fresh berries. This mousse is not only delectable but also a source of healthy fats and antioxidants.
Banana oatmeal biscuits
Crush ripe bananas and mix with oatmeal, a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of sultanas. Form small biscuits on a baking tray and bake until golden brown. These delicious biscuits are free of refined sugars and contain fibre-rich oats, making them a nutritious alternative to traditional biscuits.
Chia seed pudding with fresh fruit
Soak chia seeds in almond milk or coconut milk and add a natural sweetener such as agave syrup. Let the mixture set in the fridge for a few hours to a pudding-like consistency. Serve the chia seed pudding with fresh strawberry slices, kiwi and a handful of toasted almonds for a dessert rich in omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fibre.
Grilled peaches with honey and Greek yoghurt
Cut peaches in half and grill until soft and juicy. Drizzle a little honey over them and serve with a generous spoonful of Greek yoghurt. The combination of the warm, caramelised peaches and the creamy yoghurt makes for a heavenly dessert that is packed with vitamins and minerals.
