Do You Like Dessert?
There are very few people I know who don’t like dessert. And, quite often, sweet desserts are a huge issue for my clients. So, what’s the solution? We work together and discuss how to cut back on sugar, one strategy being less sugary dessert ideas. It’s not just my clients, though. On a personal note, my son adores sweets and so I’ve been on the watch for less sugary dessert ideas for years!

Have Dessert – with these Less Sugary Dessert Ideas!
- Nuts are an especially satisfying dessert. Try all kinds of nuts for great flavor, fiber and fun.
- Fresh fruits are sweet and juicy as dessert. Try seasonal fruits as fresh, or canned or frozen & thawed.
- Dried fruits are surprisingly sweet. There are many kinds to choose from such as apricots, plums/prunes, raisins, figs, and cranberries.
- Pumpkin pie is a less sugary dessert. My pumpkin pie recipe is deliciously crust-less and made in the blender, so it’s low in calories and easy, easy, easy.
- Yogurt-Fruit parfaits are a special dessert treat. Get out a clear, fancy glass and be creative with my easy recipe.
- Cookies made from scratch recipes can be less sugary. Find a recipe and then adjust it. For example, cut the sugar amount in half and the result will be fine.
