It’s
always satisfying to end your meal with a great dessert but the sad truth is
that many of them are laced with sugar, can make you fat and are not healthy.
Still, that doesn't mean you should not have dessert anymore. The good news is
that there are healthy desserts. To convince you, below are some healthy
dessert alternatives that can satisfy your sweet tooth without giving you extra
pounds:

Start
with fresh fruit. Combine low fat yogurt with low fat whipped cream and place
some fresh fruit. Add some cinnamon and
get ready for a good time. Or slice an apple or peach in half. Spray with some
canola oil, sprinkle with brown sugar
and grill till it’s soft and fragrant. For toppings, use sugar-free syrup or
low fat whipped topping.
Need more? Place a scoop of fat-free vanilla ice cream in a bowl. Top it with
your favorite sugar-free coffee syrup that comes in delicious flavors such as
almond, vanilla, caramel or raspberry. Sprinkle lightly with nuts and you've
got a good dessert.

Another
option is fat-free and sugar-free Jell-O. This is very cheap and only contains
5 calories per serving. Mix this with some canned fruit or non-fat dairy
whipped topping. Or give in to some fat-free or sugar-free frozen yogurt. This
tastes great and contains only a fraction of the calories that you’ll find in
ice cream.
To save
a bundle, why not have sugar-free chewing gum for dessert? This will satisfy
your sweet tooth and keep your waistline healthy at the same time. When dining
out, a good strategy is to order just one dessert and split it with your
partner. Thus, you get only half the fat and half the calories. Lastly, try
eating dessert just after a 1/2-hour walk. Do so after breakfast or dinner. If
you still crave for dessert when you return, do so since you've had a good
exercise.
