These Dessert Recipes Can Easily Be Part Of Your Healthy Eating Plan

Opting for a healthier lifestyle doesn't have to mean cutting out desserts completely (you heard me). You can still indulge and enjoy after-dinner treats, you'll just need to swap out a few things. Most of the time, it'll mean less sugar, and more fruit. You know, like Baked Peaches, Banana Ice Cream and Chocolate Covered Watermelon. Need some inspo? We've rounded up our favourite healthy desserts for you to try, and we're convinced you won't even be able to tell they're on the lighter-side.

These baked peaches are roasted low and slow to bring out all their natural sweetness. That means, even if your peaches aren't perfectly ripe, they'll still be super delicious.

Cooking with chia seeds might *sound* intimidating, but in reality they couldn't be easier to whip up! Simply add liquid (we like almond milk, but any milk works) and let time do the rest. In a couple hours, your seeds will be transformed into creamy, smooth pudding. We like ours topped with fresh fruit and granola, but feel free to go crazy with your favourite toppings! Yogurt, nut butters, and jams are all great mix-ins.
