I don’t know how you feel, but desserts are one of my most favorite things to eat, and the more healthy desserts that are available to me, the better I feel. I feel better about eating them, and I feel better because they are providing some nutrition to my body, not just empty calories.

It can be hard to think of healthy desserts on your own, especially when your cravings tell you they want something unhealthy. To make it easier for you, I’m going to provide a few examples for you of some healthy desserts…

I like to call this one Honey Nut Goodness…

First, microwave 2 tablespoons of peanut butter of your choice, in a heat proof bowl for 20 seconds.

Let it cool slightly, then mix it with an equal amount, or less, of whipped topping.

Then crush 2 whole honey graham crackers (whole wheat if you can get them) and put them into a bowl, reserving about 1 teaspoon.

Top the crumbs with the peanut butter mixture, and then sprinkle with the remaining crumbs.

This is so yummy!

Ok, the next of the healthy desserts I call Sloppy Berry Angel…

First, take a slice of angel food cake. You may want to put it in a bowl as this can get messy.

Take a variety of berries, as many as you want, either fresh or frozen (thawed)…I like to use strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, put 1/2 of the berries aside.

Put the other 1/2 of the berries into a small sauce pan with just a little water, no more than 1/4 cup… heat on low to medium until the mixture comes to a boil, then stir and mash the fruit with the back of a spoon.

Cool slightly then pour over the angel food cake, and top with the remaining berries and a dollop of whipped cream if you like.

Enjoy!

If you use your imagination, I know you can also come up with many different healthy desserts to enjoy.

If you need some ideas, healthy desserts can contain things like peanut butter, granola, fruit, jello, low sugar breakfast cereal, a drizzling of chocolate or caramel sauce, graham crackers, low fat yogurt, etc.

Think up some easy to make healthy desserts and add them to your menu. Your body will thank you.

Do you struggle trying to get your children fueled with a healthy breakfast? If you’re like me, getting your kids dressed in a matching outfit, getting the homework together, and getting the kids out the door is a struggle, let alone making sure our children get in a nutritious breakfast.

If you’re looking for some fast, easy, and nutritious breakfast ideas, then I have some fantastic ideas for you! Read below for some delicious breakfasts I prepare for my own children. Not only are they fast, easy, and nutritious, but my kids say they taste great too!

A Healthy Kids Breakfast Tip #1: Cereal


Yes, this is a given but how many of us parents give in to sugary cereal to appease our kids? Cut out the sugar and make sure your kid’s cereal includes whole grains and no sugar. My kids, in the beginning, weren’t too pleased about cutting out the sugar until I brought out the fresh blueberries and strawberries to adorn the tops of their cereal!

A Healthy Kids Breakfast Tip #2: Eggs, Toast & Fruit


Another given but one that may take more time than some of us parent’s have in the morning! I like hard boiling some eggs ahead of time and having them ready to go in the refrigerator. But them into little sections, throw some whole grain toast into the toaster, cut up some fruit, and you’ll have a nutritious breakfast that will get your child through the day.

A Healthy Kids Breakfast Tip #3: Yogurt with Granola

My kids LOVE this and it is just too easy to make! Pour some low-fat yogurt into a bowl and sprinkle it was some low-fat, low-sugar granola. Your child will think they’re eating dessert it is so tasty! This is a fabulous option that is so quick and easy.

A Healthy Kids Breakfast Tip #4: Fruit Smoothie

This is a great breakfast if your kids need to take it to go. Simply throw some frozen or fresh fruits (like blueberries, peaches, strawberries, bananas, or any other fruit you enjoy), some juice (like orange juice), and vanilla yogurt into a blender and blend away. Pour your smoothie into a to-go cup and your child will be fueled with some nutritious nutrients!

A Healthy Kids Breakfast Tip #5: French Toast

Dip some whole-grain bread into a little egg, some milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon and cook them in a skillet. Top the french toast with some fresh fruit, some low-fat yogurt, or sugar-free syrup for a great tasting and nutritious breakfast option. Kids really love french toast and will gobble this up!

A Healthy Kids Breakfast Tip #6: Muffins

This is easy! Once a week, I bake my own muffins and stick them in the freezer to give to my kids. On those busy mornings, I just pop one into the microwave and breakfast is done! Add a glass of milk and you have a filling and tasty breakfast. Make sure the muffins are whole wheat, low in sugar, and filled with ingredients that are healthy.
