You don't have to totally deprive yourself to lose weight. While portion control and cutting down on sugar IS totally crucial, there are still sweet treats that can contribute to your weight-loss goals. And guess what? A study showed that eating sweets can actually help with weight loss.
These desserts use ingredients with satiating high protein (think: yogurt, chickpeas, black beans), and digestion-aiding, debloating fiber (chia, flax, and fruit). Bonus? Most are low in calories. All of these healthy treats have components that can help you reach your weight-loss goals . . . and they're ALL super delicious. Whether you're a chocolate-lover or you prefer fruity flavors, we've got baked goods and frosty treats for everyone.
