What's an "unhealthy" dessert?
My definition of healthy dessert is (1) a sweet treat I enjoy that (2) has some micronutrients or protein, not just fat and carbs AND (3) is lower in calories than a typical dessert.
I don't mind eating "unhealthy" desserts here and there too, I'm not one who thinks sugar or fat is the devil, but I do think I have more than enough of them already so if I can find a dessert that helps with other things I actually lack in a low calorie package, then that's great. Then it becomes not just an extra that I make room for in my day but is actually helping to meet nutrition needs. Dark chocolate is a nice example, it is a source of iron and as a vegetarian I have to make sure I get enough. Dip some berries in that chocolate and now I have a little vitamin c to help me absorb that iron....all in a yummy package!
