Let’s be honest. As delicious as they are, most desserts aren’t the best for your health. Full of refined flour, fat, and sugar, they’re pretty much as bad for your body as they are good for your heart. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are definitely ways to make desserts that result in food that is both healthy and super tasty. Here are just a few recipes that are good for you – but so yummy you won’t even be able to tell.

You’re probably heard that dark chocolate can actually be good for you and, indeed, it is full of antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and prevent disease. And this dark chocolate truffle recipe from May I Have That Recipe? features them prominently, plus fat-free yogurt and peanut or almond butter for healthy protein, too.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Avocado Pudding
If you haven’t heard yet that you can use avocado in desserts and you won’t even be able to taste it, we’re happy to break the good news to you. That’s what the minimalist baker does in this chocolate pudding recipe.
