Low-calorie healthy desserts
There are many cafes in Europe that serve delicious delicacies with minimal calories. Baked pear with honey and cinnamon, spinach souffle with cranberry sauce and a sprig of mint, muffins with banana and caramel, sweet potato mousse with chocolate and pineapple...

You will be surprised, but almost all of these delicacies can be prepared at home - it will take a minimum of time. All you need is a little imagination and certain products. These desserts are prepared very quickly, and their usefulness is much higher than that of store-bought buns and cakes.
Golden rules
If you are determined to give up store-bought sweets and start eating only healthy desserts, here are a few key points to remember:
- No sugar. For a long time it was believed that sugar is good for the body, but more recently scientists have discovered that its excess in the blood increases glucose levels - this leads to obesity, diabetes and atherosclerosis. It is very easy to replace it - just add a little honey, Jerusalem artichoke syrup or maple syrup to the dessert. They are absolutely harmless to health - a spoonful of one of these sweeteners can energize you and strengthen your immune system;
- No flour - it can be successfully replaced by other components (you will learn about them a little later);
- Lots of fruits and berries. Remember that the content of vitamins and microelements in them is simply off scale. But - only in those that are not subjected to long-term heat treatment or freezing. You can and should add chilled fruits and berries to desserts - this will make its texture more airy and it will simply melt in your mouth;
- Separate meals. Such desserts are consumed as a separate meal (or at least an hour after a meal) - this is a completely complete dish.
These are the basic rules, after learning which you can easily and quickly switch to proper nutrition. Believe me, once you try this dessert once, you will want to cook it again and again.
