My favorite healthy sweet snacks I always have on hand

There’s no shortage of “healthy” sweets on the market, but I’ll be honest: a lot of them lack imagination. Plus, there’s no denying that anything you make from scratch is going to taste WAY better than anything from a package… and be far cheaper, too.
Because of this, I’ve developed and tested many healthy, low-calorie desserts that satisfy the sweet tooth and use simple, everyday ingredients.
Easy no-bake sweets
When I have a craving for something sweet, the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven and patiently wait (yes, even if it is for healthy donuts). Que, easy, no-bake sweet snacks.
- Protein pudding– With just two ingredients and a few minutes, you can make creamy pudding with no added sugar, countless flavor combinations, and 28 grams of protein!
- Healthy cookie dough– Who doesn’t love edible cookie dough? How about edible cookie dough with no raw flour, added sugar, or gluten? Count me in!
- Coconut chia pudding– Chia seeds are packed with fiber and protein, and when you mix them with coconut milk and maple syrup, you get the perfect midday pick-me-up.
- Banana protein bars– We love making homemade protein bars, especially when you get to have them taste exactly like banana bread!
- Coconut energy balls– Soft, fudgy, and made with 4 wholesome ingredients.
- Have a nut allergy? Make these nut-free granola bars instead.
- Banana bread energy bites– The perfect healthy snack for using up those leftover bananas.

Healthy cookie recipes
I could never stick to a diet that didn’t let me indulge in cookies. Luckily, I’ve never had to make such a sacrifice, and neither should you!
- Yogurt chocolate chip cookies– Made with Greek yogurt and other bakery staples, these are the perfect healthy cookies.
- No-bake oatmeal cookies– Made with three ingredients and ready in minutes, they taste just like freshly baked healthy oatmeal raisin cookies.
- Applesauce cookies– Naturally sweetened with apple, I look forward to these cookies every Fall!
- Strawberry cookies– When berry season hits, you better believe I’m making these cookies on repeat! Prefer blueberries? Try these blueberry oatmeal cookies instead.
- Healthy chocolate chip cookies– All the flavors of freshly baked cookies, but with no flour, sugar, eggs, OR grains.
- Healthy Monster cookies– Insanely soft and chewy, these cookies are studded with M&M candies and still manage to be healthy.

Healthy chocolate snacks
I can’t go a day without chocolate, and why should I? With countless healthy chocolate recipes available, you can make a new one every day of the week.
- Chocolate peanut butter balls– If you love chocolate and peanut butter as much as I do, you’re going to love this recipe.
- Healthy mug cake– An easy way to satisfy my sweet tooth in a few minutes using wholesome ingredients.
- Healthy chocolate muffins– I’ve made this recipe for countless friends and family, and they NEVER believe me when I say they’re made with whole grains!
- Healthy Snickers– Yes, you read that right. You can now enjoy your favorite candy bar guilt-free.
- Keto chocolate bark– It’s amazing what roasted almonds and low-carb chocolate can taste like!
- Healthy chocolate peanut butter smoothie– Creamy, chocolatey, and deceptively healthy, it’s basically a healthy banana milkshake.

Healthy frozen sweet treats
If my family ever wonders where I am during the day, they usually check the kitchen first. That’s because I’m sneaking some ice cream for a little pick-me-up!
- Sugar-free frozen yogurt– Once you learn how to make frozen yogurt from scratch, you’ll never buy it again– especially when you can make it with or without an ice cream maker!
- Protein ice cream– I’m not going to lie; there are a lot of protein ice creams on the market, but they taste a little ‘off,’ in my opinion. This recipe proves that you can have protein-packed ice cream that actually tastes like the real deal.
- Healthy popsicles– Naturally sweetened with a drizzle of honey, you can customize them with any fruit you have on hand.
- Low-calorie ice cream– At under 50 calories per serving, you better believe I make this every week!
- Healthy milkshake– Ultra-creamy, chocolatey, and decadent, this dairy-free milkshake is the perfect midday treat.
- Protein milkshake– Get your protein fix AND dessert in one. I’ve included all the popular flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

Your timing is perfect here, mate! We’ve been counting calories since before Thanksgiving…and it’s working. But I just didn’t even try on Christmas Day. Oops. Haha! Hope you are having a great holiday break, and I hope it’s full of lots and lots of 100 calorie snacks. Nomnomnom. 🙂
