I think we
can all agree that the best part of studying nutrition is the food itself. This
week I thought I would share a website that I turn to quite often when it comes
to baking. Everyone loves desserts and there is no better way to enjoy them
than eating them guilt-free. By following the recipes on http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com ,
you can make tasty treats without worrying about your waistline. One benefit of
the site is the variety of options. The creator provides gluten free, vegan,
sugar-free, and soy-free options. She also offers additional recipes that can
used to make regular meals. All of the ingredients required to bake are simple,
healthy, and nourishing. My favorite aspect of the website is the authors
outlook on nutrition. She advocates living healthily in moderation and
balancing your life as much as possible. Some of the recipes I have tried are
the dark chocolate raspberry muffins, the chocolate chips cookies, the
flour-free brownies, and the banana ice cream.
I have also made a few of the pumpkin items and the chocolate fudge. Most
of them turned out successfully and my test subjects could not even tell that
they were designed to be healthy!
Here are some pictures of my
results…

I thought this was really good. As someone that enjoys baking desserts for my family when I am home this gives me a place to look that will give me ideas to make desserts a little healthier. Did it feel a little weird using different ingredients than what you are use to for making some of these ideas?
ReplyDeleteI think this was good information for me. I like desserts and I never think about any information about nutrition in this aspects when I enjoy it. After reading I think I need to pay more attention to my health.
