Hi Siwicki Fit Fam, Juliann here! If you didn’t know this about me, let me tell you something - I am a DESSERT queen. No, seriously. When I go out to restaurants the first thing I look at is the dessert menu. I was raised on the idea that dinner is not complete without dessert. Jacob and I have made it a priority to maintain a healthy diet. Jacob is a Type 1 Diabetic, we are raising two small humans and I am a working mom that needs to be fueled by food not drained by it. With that said, I still love me some dessert!

Over the last couple of years I have experimented with healthier options and I have found some recipes that I truly love. I have learned what ingredients to use to make dessert healthier that have become staple items in my house (almond flour, dates, maple syrup, coconut sugar & oil, etc.). I promise you, these desserts are delicious. I included my favorite recipes below. Let me know if you decide to try them in the comments - I cannot wait to hear from my fellow DESSERT LOVERS! LET’S GO!

P.S. - If you live in the DC Metro area, Alli Camps (a dessert loving mama) has turned her love of everything sweet into a business by creating upgraded versions of pretty much any dessert you know and love. She will work with you to create a custom cookie box, cake or candy to meet your dietary needs. Follow her on instagram @EatTheDamnDessert or contact her at allisoncamps2@gmail.com to place your order. We included one of her recipes (Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups) below!
