A wholesome coming to dessert
Many of us enjoy a good desert every now and then. Very often we have a craving for a fancy fruit desert but instead of taking a healthier alternative we tend to lean towards the pre-made products, such as strawberry shortcake or cherry cheesecake. What this means is that our fruit is accompanied by a high calorie pastry. Fresh fruit on its own has the potential to supply our bodies with fiber and vitamins; therefore, fruit is a great expanding to any desert as long as we take the time to generate something that is healthier than cheesecake.
Since fruit is sweet on its own, our dependency on sugar additives is not necessary. By eliminating unnecessary sugars we are cutting out a lot of the calories. So what can we mix our fruit with in order to generate a healthier yet still appetizing desert? You can concentrate lots of fat free or reduced fat products into your fruit. Low fat or light ice cream, light or low fat whipped cream, dark chocolate, and low fat or light yogurt are just a few of the options. You can cut up some fruit and place them on top of a scoop of fat-free ice cream. You can cut up some fruit and place it in low-fat vanilla yogurt. Yet other option is to melt some dark chocolate and dip your pre-diced fruit.
Another way that you can get creative with your fruit is by mixing other healthy snacks along with the fruit. For instance you can add some raisins, peanuts, cheerios, or any other dried fruit or healthy snack in order to generate a fun trail mix treat. You can even throw in a few tiny chocolate or peanut butter chips into your mix. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes down to creating healthy deserts.
