Don’t like complicated dessert recipes or baking? I can relate. But I have a sweet tooth (always have). It might have to do with growing up eating a lot of Hostess products.
Now I eat healthy…like 80%-90% of the time because it’s all about balance. But one of my biggest struggles has been how to satisfy my sugar cravings because they are tied to comfort, not lack of eating right.
I don’t even keep table sugar in my house because I’ve been known to dip butter in sugar, so I mean it when I say I love sweets. ;)
Because I don’t like baking, it’s a problem because there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of healthy dessert recipes out there, but I just don’t want to do it. I’m so happy that I’ve found a few that really hit the spot for me and are practically effortless.
My criteria: Simple. Easy. Healthy. Nutritious.
Some great health benefits of this recipe:
Strawberry Chia Greek Yogurt
Ingredients: 1/4-1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup strawberries (I used frozen) 1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon raw honey
Directions: Mix everything together and enjoy. You don’t even have to thaw the frozen strawberries if you use the small ones in the bag. If you are dairy free, check out this Coconut Greek Style yogurt. You can even download coupons on the website.
