    30+ Healthy Dessert Recipes (Low-Sugar | 21 Day Fix | Weight Watchers)

    These healthy dessert recipes are crazy delicious and will definitely curb a sweet tooth! Not to mention that some of them are so easy, they don't even need a recipe. They're all low-sugar, 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly, too!

    These healthy dessert recipes are crazy delicious, low-sugar and easy to make! 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly, too! #21dayfix #weightwatchers #ww #dessert #healthydessert #mealprep #healthy #healthyrecipes #beachbody #lowsugar

    Hey guys! So do you want to hear something crazy? The average American consumes between 17 and 22 teaspoons of added sugar EVERY SINGLE DAY. <insert brain exploding emoji>

    If you're wondering what's recommended, it's no more than 4-6 teaspoons a day (4 if you're doing the 21 Day Fix). That's a huge difference. Now I'm not talking about naturally occurring sugars in fruits and things like that. I'm talking about the extra sugar that we add into our diets via sugary drinks and processed foods or even when we put it in our coffee in the morning.

    The great thing about these healthy dessert recipes? Not only are they legit delicious, but they all only have around 2 teaspoon or less per serving. You can not beat it. 

    Oh, and here's a hot tip from me to you: If you crave sweets at a certain time of the day (me: at night, EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.), make sure you plan to eat your treat at that time. It makes such a huge difference!

    These low-sugar, healthy dessert recipes (I've thrown some sweet snacks in here too!) have really helped to keep me on track with the 21 Day Fix (and honestly they just help me to keep my sugar intake down in general, it's so easy for me to let that get out of hand), and I hope they'll do the same for you!

    No-Recipe Sweet Treats:

    1. Ricotta & Berries - ΒΎ cup of part-skim ricotta, Β½ - 1 cup of chopped strawberries or other berries, drizzle a teaspoon of honey over everything - aaand maybe even a smidge of coarse salt on top... trust me. (1 Red, Β½ - 1 Purple, 1 sweetener teaspoon) - also some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips on top is full-on chef's kiss, just be sure to count them if you use them!
    2. Apple "Nachos" - 1 teaspoon PB mixed with 1 teaspoon honey and drizzled over 1 sliced apple (sometimes I'll also whisk in a little almond milk to thin it out and it kind of makes this fluffy topping, it's so good!). You can top this with coconut flakes, nuts or chocolate chips, just be sure to count those! Without the toppings, this is 1 Purple, 1 Tsp, and 1 sweetener teaspoon.
    3. Banana Pancakes - I know, this sounds like breakfast and of course it can be, but these are so sweet and just all around fantastic, that I make them on the regular as dessert πŸ™‚ Mix together Β½ of a banana and 1 egg (it's ok if the batter is a little chunky), cook like you would regular pancakes, just be gentle when flipping. (1 Purple, Β½ Red) - they're also great with a little peanut butter on them if you have some teaspoons to spare!
    4. Chopped fruit mixed with unsweetened coconut flakes - something about the coconut makes fruit feel more dessert-y. (1 Purple, 1 Orange)
    5. One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream - You literally put sliced, frozen bananas into a food processor (or high powered blender) and process for a while until it turns into ice cream. It's magical. This is especially a good one for those of you who get a lot of purple containers to use throughout the day because it doesn't make a ton with only 1 banana.

      Just started 2nd week of 21 day fix (10 pounds lighter!) and craving something sweet. I just made the banana pancakes and topped with a tsp of peanut butter. Delicious! Thank you for a quick easy "recipe" that leaves me feeling completely satisfied.

      Hey Steph! Alway so happy to see a super shiny new post. πŸ˜‰
      My goodness, that move date sure did sneak up on us (lol... I feel like I'm moving too!) Good luck on the yard sale!. I am ALL for the idea of getting rid of stuff. Anti-hoarders unite! πŸ˜‰
      Meanwhile, thank you for creating this awesome sweets roundup. I completely feel you on this: I've got a sweet tooth the size of... geez, what's something big? Alaska! Lol. Love that you rounded up some many great ideas to get that sweet fix without going super unhealthy. πŸ™‚
      Thanks so much for including me, Steph! I'm humbled (and also hungry now). Also loving the list of no-recipes at the top too. The banana pancakes, the green smoothies... okay, the whole list sounds amazing! And nice cream is the BEST! P.S. I can't wait to try your flourless pumpkin custard bars once fall rolls around.
      Good luck with the move, my dear! Bog hogs. xo

        Thanks, Demeter! How could I possibly make a list of treats without including one of your vegan/GF masterpieces?! Also, let me just say that you, my friend, may be the ultimate anti-hoarder, I bow before you πŸ™‚ There's nothing better than a no-recipe recipe, especially when you need to kill a craving RIGHT NOW - and seriously, one ingredient ice cream? It doesn't get any simpler than that, AND I have yet to meet a single soul who doesn't love it. SO GOOD!! Bog Hogs, D! <3 <3 <3

          Hehe. You are SERIOUSLY the best!! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I'm an anti-hoarder? Old hoarding me would be so proud to hear it (over the piles of junk, of course.) So true! I feel like we have to whisper this bc we're food bloggers, but sometimes you just need to make something without instructions! Lol. Big, big BOG hogs to you, Steph. <3 xoxoxoxo
