Healthy Desserts: Is It Possible?

If you are like me (and thousands of others), your whole life stops at the mere mention of chocolate cake, key lime pie or chocolate chip cookie.

Yes, I love eating a delicious dessert from time to time, but that to maintain my weight loss of 14 kilos and still enjoy life in a healthy body is something I can not do regularly. (What a pain!)

So, I have come up with some strategies to help me curb my sweet tooth when it appears ... baked apples with cinnamon, sweetened with stevia herbal tea or fruit salad sprinkled with a little honey.

However, sometimes these choices do not help some people. They want a delicious slice of cake or a cookie or cake. Is there a way to eat them and still carrying a healthy diet?

I decided to do a little research and found some great ways to bake and create healthy and delicious desserts without all the sugar and flour that usually have most of them.

I was so excited to share these recipes with you today that I have not had a chance to try it myself (though, now you know what I'll be doing this weekend).

Try them and be sure to email me so we can compare notes. I will also ask my husband to give me your honest opinion about them (Poor, desserts will be testing all weekend, do not you feel sorry for him?)

Basic Whipped Cream Recipe (to give you a taste from time to time):

Ingredients: 480 ml heavy whipping cream 1 / 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 / 4 cup powdered sugar (or powdered, I will try using 1 / 8 cup of stevia for baking, but do not know if it will work fine) Instructions: 1. Mix liquid ingredients in a bowl. Add the icing sugar. 2. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until peaks appear to maintain their shape. This should take you about four minutes (or more if you are using a whisk). 3. Serve over your dessert and enjoy!

Please remember that even though these desserts are much better than those sold in stores, you should eat in moderation. A piece or slice, once or twice a week is enough to satisfy your craving for something sweet and not stop continue to meet your goals of weight loss and health.
