We have been trying to find ways to eat the recommended 5
servings of fruit and veggies every day. Since we all have a wicked
sweet tooth. We thought we would try only eating desserts that are
made from fruit and/or fruit juice plus other healthy ingredients.
Some of the recipes are healthier than others, but it’s a great way
to add that extra fruit into your family’s diet. All of the recipes
below use fruit and/or fruit juice plus other natural ingredients to
create more nutritious food alternatives to over processed store
bought desserts. You can adapt these recipes to make them even more
healthy buy using organic ingredients, whole grains, and eggs from
free range chickens. Let’s be honest, the chances of us mom’s having
time to go to an orchard to pick fruit and a garden to veggies to
blend perfect meals for our families is pretty slim in these busy
times. If we can sneak it into desserts maybe they won't even notice
;0)
These are some of our favorite dessert recipes. If you have any
recipes that you would like to share or if you have tried some of
these and want to share your feedback. Ps...please do not resell or
post these recipes on any message boards.
