The Lightest, Most Satisfying And Healthy Desserts

We bring you some ideas to prepare delicious and healthy desserts. Do you want to add more fruits to your diet? Do not miss this article.

Desserts often have a bad reputation for fattening or worsening digestion. However, they are one of our greatest food temptations. In this article, we present you some healthy desserts that you can prepare without major complications.

Dessert fruit

Some people believe that the healthiest dessert is to have a fruit. However, this premise may not be true for everyone. For some, eating fruit after a meal can worsen digestion and even cause heartburn or flatulence, for example in the case of orange, grapefruit or tangerine.

Of course, this changes from person to person. For many of us, eating a fruit after eating does not cause discomfort. In this case, you must pay attention to your body and decide if you should eat fruit for dessert or if it is better to eat it as a snack between meals.

Generally, pear and apple are usually the best accepted fruits, even by the body of those who see their digestive function slowed down by the consumption of fruits.

Dairy desserts

Another big question is whether we can have a dairy derivative for dessert. This will depend on our tolerance to lactose. Like fruits, dairy can be indigestible for some people.

• Milk. We advise against it, as it is usually difficult to digest even on its own
• The cheeses. They could be a good addition to desserts in moderation. Avoiding other foods that are too salty
• Milk, cream and pastry creams. They tend to be indigestible and gain weight easily, so we will reserve them better to take in the afternoon or at breakfast.

• The yogurt. It would not be a good option either.

Agar Agar Jelly Desserts

Agar agar is an algae to which different beneficial properties for health are attributed and that we can also use as gelatin in the kitchen.

• To cook it, we will add the agar agar powder (approximately 10 grams per liter) to the liquid that we want to curdle when it is still cold.
• We will put a simmer and we will stir.
• When it starts to boil, we will continue stirring slowly for one or two minutes.
• We will turn off the fire and we can serve in a container.
• When it is at room temperature, which will still be liquid, we will store in the fridge.

What can we make jellies from?

• Apple or pear boiled with cinnamon.
• Vegetable drinks with turmeric and vanilla.
• Pineapple or papaya whipped.
• Different types of chocolate.
• Of coffee.

Combinations can also be made, first curdling one part and when it is cold, adding another different gelatin. In this way, we will achieve delicious and very original results.

Fruit carpaccio

With fruits that are not indigestible for us, we can prepare a sophisticated and refreshing recipe. We will cut the chosen fruit into slices as thin as possible. Then we can add a little yogurt, hot chocolate, cinnamon, fresh mint or flambé it with some liquor. A good presentation will be essential in this dessert.

Baked apples

Baked apples can be prepared a bit more elegantly to make them an appetizing and very filling dessert.

• We can fill the apples with nuts, grated coconut, grated orange peel, and bathe them in honey.
• The result will be very aromatic and tasty apples.

Pears with spicy must

We may know the famous recipe for pears in wine, but in this case we present a lighter and healthier recipe, suitable for abstainers.

• Instead of boiling the pears in wine, we will do it in must (grape juice), to which we will add some spices to flavor: cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, ginger, etc.
• We will present it in glasses.
