Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? Absolutely! Here are six healthy treats that will satisfy your cravings without sabotaging your diet.

1. Green Smoothie Bowl 🌱

Smoothie bowls are all the rage these days, and for good reason - they’re packed with nutrients, full of flavor, and look absolutely beautiful. To make one, simply blend up your favorite smoothie ingredients (think spinach, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk), then pour the mixture into a bowl and top it with toppings like granola, berries, and nut butter. Not only is this option delicious and filling, but it’s also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.

2. Baked Apples 🍎

If you’re in the mood for something warm and comforting, try a baked apple. All you need to do is cut an apple in half, scoop out the core, and fill it with a mixture of oats, cinnamon, and a touch of honey. Bake it in the oven until it’s soft and fragrant, then enjoy with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein. This treat is perfect for fall and winter, and it’s a great way to use up any leftover apples you have.
