I used to think mint chocolate chip ice cream was off the table once I started eating clean. Every store-bought version had corn syrup, food dye, or mystery "natural flavor."

One summer, feeling a bit nostalgic (and honestly, left out while my kids had their cones), I decided to experiment. Could I...

I first made these mixed berry crumble bars on a random Tuesday night when I had a fridge full of berries about to go bad and a craving for something sweet but not sinful.

Back then, I was constantly tired and craving sugar at 3pm like clockwork. I’d usually reach for a packaged granola bar… but I ...

This pudding came from one of those days when I wanted something sweet but not heavy. Something I could throw together with pantry staples no oven, no mixer, just a whisk and a spoon. The combo of creamy coconut and bright lime reminds me of beach vacations, and the texture? Like silky pie filling i...

I’ve always had a soft spot for lemon bars  that buttery crust and tart-sweet filling? Yes, please. But most recipes left me bloated and foggy from all the sugar and flour. So I created these lemon raspberry bars as a lighter, feel-good version. The almond flour crust is golden and toasty, and the f...

These little tarts came from one of those “what do I do with this leftover fruit?” moments — and now they’re a staple summer treat in our house. I love how the juicy blackberries and bright lime pop against the creamy filling, and no one ever guesses the crust is made from nuts. They look like somet...

Back when I was swapping out store-bought sweets for healthier options, I missed those old-fashioned ice cream sundaes. This Peach Melba version brought that magic back — but in a way that actually leaves me feeling good. It’s made with frozen bananas instead of ice cream, gently warmed peaches, and...

There was a time when cupcakes were my weakness. Sweet, fluffy, and... always followed by a sugar crash. These key lime cupcakes changed that. They’re bright and tangy with just the right touch of sweetness and made with better-for-you ingredients I feel good serving my family. I made them once for ...

Back when I started eating cleaner, dessert was the hardest part — especially in summer when the kids wanted something cold and I wanted to feel good in my clothes. This strawberry mint sorbet became a fast favorite. It’s naturally sweet, super refreshing, and tastes like a treat from a fancy spa da...

There’s something about layering yogurt, fruit, and a little crunch that makes snack time feel fancy — even if I’m eating it standing at the kitchen counter! This Blueberry Parfait has been one of my go-to “sweet treat” swaps for years. It’s quick, packed with protein, and feels like dessert, but it...

I made this Peach and Berry Frozen Yogurt on a whim one hot afternoon when my kids were begging for ice cream, and I really didn’t want to hand them a sugar bomb. I tossed some frozen fruit and yogurt into the blender and it turned out shockingly delicious. It’s now a staple in our house: fast, refr...

This is one of those recipes I throw together every time the weather hits 80°. I call it my sunshine bowl because it’s packed with tropical fruits that feel like vacation mango, pineapple, kiwi, and a sprinkle of coconut. It’s light, hydrating, and makes me feel like I’m somewhere with palm trees an...

The first time I made this Citrus Burst Sorbet was during a heatwave when everyone in the house was melting and begging for something cold. I didn’t want to hand out sugar-loaded popsicles, so I threw together fresh citrus, a touch of honey, and ice in the blender. The result? A frosty, zesty treat ...
