A Nutritionist’s 3 Favourite Healthy Desserts (No Protein Powder)

I get asked about healthy snacking and sweet treats all the time and these are my GO to desserts I make when I want that hit of something sweet but still keeping things balaced. A chocolate orange tofu pudding (trust me, you can’t taste the tofu), frozen raspberry popcorn sundae and blueberry & lemon cottage cheese pancakes. All great for capping that sweet tooth. 0:29 Chocolate Orange Pudding Pots 05:56 Raspberry & Popcorn Sundae Bowls 08:33 Blueberry & Lemon Cottage Cheese Pancakes Recipes 1) Chocolate Orange Tofu Pudding Pots 300g silken tofu, well drained 80-100g dark chocolate Orange zest (to taste) Sweetener, to taste (honey / maple / stevia) Pinch of salt (optional) Method Melt the dark chocolate. Blend the tofu until smooth. Add melted chocolate, orange zest, sweetener to taste, and a pinch of salt. Blend again until completely silky, scraping down the sides. Spoon into pots and chill for 2–3 hours (overnight is best). 2) Blueberry & Lemon Cottage Cheese Pancakes Ingredients Oats (about 80g) Cottage cheese (about 100g) 1 egg Lemon zest Honey, to taste Blueberries (handful) Optional: pinch of salt Method Mix oats, cottage cheese, egg, lemon zest and honey (plus salt if using).
