It’s about that time of year for Girl Scout Cookies. I love Girl Scout Cookies and my all time favorite flavor is Samoa. I love the coconut/caramel/chocolate flavor combo and the cookie layer adds the perfect amount of crunch. Clearly, I love samoas. However, instead of buying girl scout cookies this year, I decided to make my own healthier version.
I have a few guy friends who have found a lot of success on the keto diet and were able to lose a decent amount of weight. Iām overall neutral when it comes to the keto diet. Iām not a proponent of the keto diet, or against it. I enjoy eating fruit (as you can see by my frequent smoothie bowl posts), so I donāt think it would be a sustainable or satisfying diet for me. However, after hearing friendsā success stories on the keto diet, I am now curious.
If you havenāt noticed, Iām a huge fan of dates. They taste so sweet and delicious all by themselves. I like to use dates as sweeteners in recipes instead of any form of added sugar. Unlike straight sweetener such as cane sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup or even honey, dates are sweet but contain fiber. Fiber is the indigestible are of food that are associated with several potential health benefits. Fiber also helps keep you feeling full and satisfied.
These stuffed dates are my favorite little dessert pieces. They take about 10 seconds to make and offer the perfect amount of sweetness after a meal. After dinner, I always crave something sweet, but I donāt typically have a lot of sweets around. These desserts are perfect to satisfy this sweet craving because they can be assembled quickly and provide just the right amount of sweetness.
I love making no bake desserts, especially during the summer. These Mini Lemon Coconut Pies are the perfect little treats to have on hand and the lemon flavor is super refreshing.
These mini pies are a healthy alternative to normal desserts. They are made with clean ingredients and contain no dairy or refined sugar. They are are both gluten free and vegan.
These Mini Lemon Coconut Pies are made with only 5 ingredients. They are also really easy to make- all you need is a food processor or blender and a muffin pan.
