Hi beauties
Long time no posting... I know right? But having a baby has sure made it more difficult to do ANYTHING around here. She keeps us busy that's for sure! And of course, with the holidays, blogging just wasn't a top priority for this girl.
But I am back with this round up post for you!
What a perfect time of the year to start posting some weight loss ideas and tips. I also have been working on my weight loss journey postpartum. So I am super excited to start posting more health-related tips and food ideas here on the blog.
Starting with some healthy dessert ideas to help ease us into a healthy lifestyle after Christmas. Many may be fully ready to give up desserts after this holiday season.. but this girl isn't!
So with that being said, I thought I would jump right into this post for you all!
Here are 15 Healthy Desserts for Fast Weight Loss:

This Matcha and blueberry chia pudding recipe with oats is vegan, dairy-free, low carb, gluten free, no added sugar. Healthy breakfast, snack or dessert! Great for weight loss because its a sweet treat that keeps you feeling full for longer!
2 INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE QUINOA CRUNCH BITES
Love this simple recipe! 2 ingredients is my kind of cooking! The best part about this recipe is the fact that it is actually pretty healthy! Here is my favourite dark chocolate to use! Thank you Nadia's Healthy Kitchen for the recipe!
Quinoa is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It's actually a seed, but it's very similar to a grain in its nutritional profile. Quinoa is packed with protein, fiber, and iron—all three of which are hard to come by in vegan diets. And it's also gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with Celiac disease or wheat allergies.
Many people are surprised to learn that quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein), making it one of the few plant foods that can be considered a complete protein.
Peanut Butter Honey Cookies
Healthy peanut butter and honey cookies are a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping your waistline in check. You seriously can not go wrong with peanut butter...ever. It is packed with protein that keeps you feeling full longer.
They're made with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, so they're a great way to use up those last few ingredients in your pantry.This is my favourite natural peanut butter that is so delicious in recipes like this! Thank you Simply Quinoa for the recipe!
They make a great snack for when you need something satisfying without being too heavy or filling—and they're even better after school when paired with an ice cold glass of almond milk!
Carrot Cake Bites
I know you're always on the go, so we made these healthy carrot cake energy bites to help you stay healthy and keep your energy up throughout the day. It tastes like the best part of carrot cake without all the calories and sugar, but with all the flavor.
I have always been a huge carrot cake fan. My grandma always makes the best carrot cake at easter.. but why not enjoy it all the time with this healthy version recipe! YUM. Packed with delicious pecans, carrots and gluten free oats. Thanks again Simply Quinoa!

VEGAN RED VELVET CUPCAKES
A lot of people think they're not eating healthy when they're vegan, but that's not true. Vegan food is healthier than a lot of other diets out there because it has no cholesterol or saturated fat. It also has less sodium and more fiber than most other diets.
Many people also find that they have more energy when they eat vegan foods because they don't have to digest as much meat or animal products. This means that your body doesn't need to use so much energy digesting food, which means more energy for other things like exercise!
These vegan red velvet cupcakes are the perfect way to enjoy a delicious dessert without the guilt of eating too much sugar, fat, or flour. Choosing Chia's recipes are always so mouth watering. She is truly talented!

Any crisp recipe is an easy dessert to turn healthy for sure. You can get your sweet fix with a big serving of fruit too!

VEGAN BAKED SNICKERS CHEESECAKE
Healthy dessert recipes are always a favorite of mine. I love that there are so many delicious treats out there that are also healthy for you! This vegan baked snickers cheesecake is no exception. It's rich, creamy and delicious, and you'll never guess how healthy it is.
Snickers are definitely one of my all time favourite chocolate bars that I use to look for when going through my halloween candy as a kid.. so naturally this recipe caught my eye instantly.. I substituted the peanuts for crushed cashews because that's what I had on hand and it still turned out amazing! Thank you From My Bowl for this recipe!
Cheesecake is the perfect dessert to end a meal. It’s creamy, rich and sweet but not too sweet. It’s also very healthy surprisingly!

Oatmeal is so good for you and makes the perfect dessert option! If you wanted to add even more sweetness to this, you could drizzle home maple syrup on it.. YUM Thanks again Choosing Chia!
This healthy pecan pie baked oatmeal recipe is a quick and easy breakfast that's perfect for busy mornings or dessert option for a healthier end to your dinner. It's loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and protein—and it tastes like a treat!
Oats are great for weight loss because they're a whole grain and a great source of fiber. They also contain B vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals like copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, and selenium.
Fiber helps you feel fuller longer by absorbing water in your stomach, which slows down the rate at which food leaves your stomach. This gives you more time to digest your meal before it enters your intestines where most nutrients are absorbed.

4 INGREDIENT KETO COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM
Dairy free ice cream is right up my alley! Ice cream use to be one of my favourite desserts but really can not eat it anymore so this recipe is definitely one I turn to when I am DYING for ice cream again. And I am all about the cookie dough! Thanks Big Man's World!
So are you wondering why so many of the recipe I have chosen are keto? First, let's talk about carbs. Carbs are pretty much everywhere—bread, pasta, cereal, chips, and that's just to name a few. They're in processed foods and in fresh foods alike. And too many carbs can make your body store fat instead of burning it off. On a keto diet, you cut out most of those carbs and replace them with fat and protein—which means less fat storage and more fat burning.
The other reason keto helps you loose weight is because it makes you feel fuller longer, so you don't eat as much throughout the day (or night). The brain makes more feel-good hormones like serotonin when it has access to more ketones (which happens when you limit your carb intake). This helps suppress appetite while also making sure your body gets what it needs nutritionally so that it doesn't have to hold onto extra calories for later use (aka storing them as fat). And finally, as we mentioned above: eating more fat than usual means burning more fat than usual!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chia Pudding
Chia pudding is another easy healthy dessert. I like to make a few in small mason jars and then keep them in the fridge for the week.. Try this recipe by 40 Aprons! It is so yummy.
Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses. They're packed with essential fatty acids and antioxidants that can help keep your heart healthy and lower your risk of disease. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, and they're also full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids that can help you feel less hungry. They're also packed with antioxidants and vitamins.
Chia seeds are a rich source of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. They also contain high levels of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce inflammation throughout the body. And if you're worried about getting enough protein in your diet, chia seeds are a great choice—they provide 20% of your daily value in just two tablespoons!
HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE
This healthy chocolate cherry cake is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and lose weight. This recipe has just the right amount of chocolate, cherries, and sweetness to make it a delicious treat that won't ruin your diet. You'll be able to enjoy this rich cake without feeling guilty or like you're missing out on anything. The best part? It's easy to make!
There you have it friends! Some desserts to get you back onto your health journey. Of course, you don't need to eat these every day but if you are craving a treat, these are great options for you!
I plan on making one of these recipes every Sunday night for a well-deserved end to a healthy week! Moderation is key when it comes to losing weight and you need to be able to have control while still enjoying your favourite foods every once in a while!
