Violet Lane felt she would be permanently bidding farewell to desserts when she chose to cut out refined sugar from her diet.
She quickly found, nevertheless, a universe of naturally sweet delicacies that satisfy her taste without sacrificing her health. Once she began experimenting, she says, “I couldn’t believe how simple it was to enjoy desserts without sugar.”
Violet often uses these low-sugar dessert ideas:
1. Frozen Bites from Banana Frozen
“These are my very best,” Violet says. She freezes bananas, cuts them into small rounds, dips them in melted dark chocolate (sweetened with stevia). “It tastes like a little ice cream sandwich.”
2. Chia Seed Pudding:
Violet enjoys making chia seed pudding with unsweetened almond milk and a dab of vanilla extract. Her natural sweetener is fresh berries. For an extra pleasure, “top it with shredded coconut or crushed nuts,” she says.
3. Date and Nut Energy Balls
Dates have a rich, caramel-like taste; Violet sometimes combines them with unsweetened cocoa powder, almonds, and a little salt. She says, “They’re ideal for sating that midday sweet tooth.”
4. Pineapple Slices Grilled on Demand
“Grilling pineapple causes something magical,” Violet says. Taste great since the natural sugars caramelize. For a guilt-free treat, she combines it with a dollop of basic Greek yogurt.
Violet Lane has discovered that no-sugar sweets may be quite delicious—and far healthier—by concentrating on full, natural ingredients. She adds, smiling, “Once you realize how good these taste, you won’t even miss the sugar.”
