Our Best Healthy Dessert Ideas
Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean giving up all the foods you love—not even desserts! Whether you make smart swaps like using fruit to sweeten your baked goods, rely on clever baking hacks or reach for treats that are low in carbs, there are plenty of ways to incorporate sweets into your healthy eating plan. Take this bright, lemony pound cake, for example. Heart-healthy olive oil and protein-rich Greek yogurt take the place of butter. Egg whites also help reduce calories, fat and cholesterol, and whole-wheat flour boosts fiber. You’ll end up with a classic pound cake—that you can feel good about indulging in!
