40 Simple Recipes You Can Use to Whip-Up All-Natural, Diabetic-Safe, Mouthwatering Desserts
Dear Health-Conscious Dessert Lover,
Enjoying a delicious dessert at the end of a great meal is one of life's sweetest pleasures.
Chocolate pecan torte... crиme brulee... warm pumpkin pie... just thinking about these decadent creations makes your mouth water.
But most of us feel guilty indulging in sweet treats. And for those of us with diabetes, real desserts just aren't on the menu. After all, most desserts pack more calories than the meal itself, and the amount of sugar in them can wreak havoc on our health.
But what if you could... - Satisfy your cravings with a warm slice of apple crisp
- Relax with a piece of New York cheesecake topped with raspberry sauce, or
- Enjoy chocolate rum balls and rich chocolate brownies...
...without worrying about how it might affect your waistline or your health?
In fact, what if these desserts were not only irresistibly delicious... but good for you too?
If you keep an eye on your health... but you still love to indulge in dessert, you'll be glad to know that you can have your cake and be well too!
You Don't Have to Sacrifice Your Health To Enjoy Dessert (As Often As You Like!)
For the longest time, all the so-called "healthy" desserts were either "low carb"... and full of harmful chemical sweeteners... or they were "low fat"... and full of sugar.
Very few people know it yet, but there is a better way...
Gone are the days you must choose between your health and the enjoyment of decadent, sweet treats.
But thanks to the latest sugar alternatives you can enjoy low-glycemic, all-natural desserts that are so delicious you'll swear they're bad for you.
You'll hardly believe that you can achieve the "sugary" results you desire in your dessert recipes... with non of the guilt.
Sweet Science: The Latest Natural Sugar Alternatives
The sugar substitutes we're talking about are not the fake, rearranged molecules of the Atkins era. On the contrary!
These cutting edge sweeteners come straight from Mother Nature's Pantry and are considered "functional ingredients" - meaning they provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition.
But if you're not a food scientist, you may not even know they exist, let alone how to use them in your favorite dessert recipes. That's where the team at Healing Gourmet comes in.
We have been firing up the test kitchen ovens, working with these amazing ingredients to create decadent and sumptuous dessert recipes that are easy to make... and won't pack on the pounds or spike your blood sugar!
Healing Gourmet... Turning Research into Recipes
Healing Gourmet provides our many readers with the latest, cutting-edge health and nutritional research served up as the world's most delicious (and healthy!) recipes.
But when it came to dessert, there were very few options that were truly decadent... and good for you too. So we set out on a mission.
We tested all the latest sweeteners, many of which most people have never even heard of. We talked to the manufacturers. And we studied the scientific research. Our mission was to use these ingredients in the right proportions to create divinely, delicious, all-natural desserts. And we did!
But, we refused to settle for anything less than extraordinary. That means every dessert had to taste just as good as what you might find in a restaurant.
And they had to be truly healthy too - decadent indulgences that you can enjoy without a moment of guilt.
We are proud to report that we have succeeded on both counts. In fact, some of these desserts are healthier than what most people have for dinner.
Just imagine biting into a luxuriously rich, dark chocolate cake that (serving for serving) provides more fiber than whole grain cereal, more protein than chicken, less sugar than an apple and fewer calories than a serving of yogurt.
Well, now you can...
