17 Healthy Dessert Ideas to Keep Your Sweet Tooth Satisfied (and Your Bod Intact)

With the hot weather comes lighter layers, skimpy swimsuits and lots of formal affairs. Since our bodies are suddenly out in the daylight, we start making healthy choices all around to make sure we’re feeling our best whether we’re on the beach, on the patio or in a bridal party. Kind of.

There’s nothing like an occasional hit from the ice cream truck, but evenings spent outside beg for lighter, cooler, easier sweets. These healthy summer desserts satisfy the sugar monster and are so easy, they’ll be ready faster than you can say chocolate chip cookie dough.

Homemade popsicles are practically edible art, slushies are great thirst quenchers and no-bake cakes with bright, berry flavours mean you’re not a slave to the stove. If you’ve already got the BBQ burning, why not throw on a few peaches and then douse them in crushed nuts and tangy Greek yogurt? It checks off every box (sweet, crunchy, creamy). You’ll never chase down Mr. Frosty again.
