Sweets can be a hard thing to balance. We all get that sugar rush when we seriously need a sweet fix. Whether it be at 11:00 a.m. in morning or 10:00 p.m. at night. However, the problem with sweets is, we don’t always want to have something unhealthy and full of processed sugar.

Although we also can’t ignore this sweet craving. So I guess the question is, “What do we do”?

By scrolling through food blogs and cooking websites I have found some delicious healthier dessert recipes. These recipes are great alternatives from traditional desserts. These are the foods that I like to make when I need something sweet, delicious, but also healthy.

Many Celebrities have jumped on this trend of healthy baking. For instance, Karlie Kloss is an advocate for healthy baking. On her Youtube channel, she takes traditional sweets and makes healthier versions of them. Many of her recipes are dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free.

The two recipes I have below are two of Karlie Kloss’s healthy cookie recipes. Both are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and have zero added sugar. Oh, and did I mention they are absolutely delicious. So next time you need a sweet fix but don’t want something unhealthy, try making either of these!

Recipes

1. Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie:

Everyone loves a classic chocolate chip cookie, however, sometimes they can be added with loads of sugar.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
