I know I’m not the only one with a nighttime sweet tooth... I do my best to have a lil chocolate every now and then, but I try to focus on foods that help push towards my health goals!
Here is a nice nighttime dessert, that won’t break your calorie bank: blackberry yogurt bowl!
Blackberries are rich in antioxidants, bioflavonoids, fiber, and vitamins C + K! Helpful for supporting a healthy immune system, and providing a nice sweet and/or tart topping to any snack or breakfast!
Vanilla Chobani Greek Yogurt is one of my faves. Great source of protein, sweet yet savory, and can once again be used as a cornerstone in any smoothie of breakfast bowl!
H**p seeds are a topping to be mindful of serving size due to caloric content if watching your weight, but are rich in protein, phytoesterols, electrolytes, and minerals. They do get some hype over being good source of omega-3’s, but keep in mind that plant-based form of omega-3 fatty acids (or alpha-linolenic (ALA)) are not as well converted to the form we use in our body (DHA & EPA). Be sure to still grab some oily fish, to get those more bioavailable omega-3’s; nonetheless, one of the richest ALA sources available, so squeak these into your diet with a scoop over yogurt bowls, in smoothies, baking products, or on top of salads.
The Aussie Bites are my new go-to sweet snack at night, and once I found them at Costco... I just couldn’t stop having them! A cookie normally does not contain such healthy ingredients, but oats, apricots, raisins, flax and sunflower seeds, honey, coconut... I’ll take these over a brownie any day! 😛
Save this simple recipe for later, and remain happy with your sweet desires (hence my yogurt bowl smiling back at ya!) Share with me, what’s your go to dessert/nighttime snack?!
