Based on the popularity of my easy popsicle recipes, especially the Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Pop, I am guessing that you guys like to indulge in “pseudo-decadent” treats. Sticking to my current diet of 30% carbs, 40% protein, and 30% fats would be much more difficult for me if I didn’t have some tasty treats to enjoy. (I’m cutting some fat before we go on vacation. I try to stick to 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fats, on a normal basis. Tracking macronutrients is much easier than calories.)
When healthier food is presented in such a yummy way, I kind of forget that it’s “healthier.” Here is a list of some desserts that I am working through. I love my old staple of coconut greek yogurt and berries but sometimes I want something with a little more pizzazz.
Ranging from healthy smoothies to popsicles, and even a healthy banana bread – these recipes are sure to get you ready for the summer! Not only can you contribute to a rockin’ summer body with these healthy recipes, you can also indulge a little and enjoy some delicious treats!
