Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean sugar overload. Treat yourself and your loved ones to these healthy, hormone-friendly desserts that are just as delicious as they are nourishing.
1. Raspberry Coconut Bliss Bites
These no-bake bites are sweet, tangy, and satisfying. To make them:
- Combine shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut oil, and fresh raspberries in a food processor.
- Roll the mixture into small balls and chill in the fridge!
💕Raspberries are rich in antioxidants, while coconut provides healthy fats for hormone support.
2. Almond Butter Chocolate Hearts
For a simple yet indulgent treat:
- Melt dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) and pour it into heart-shaped molds.
- Add a dollop of almond butter to the center of each mold before the chocolate sets.
💕Almond butter provides a dose of protein and healthy fats, making this a satisfying and hormone-friendly dessert.
3. Chia Seed Pudding with Berry Compote
Chia seeds are packed with omega-3s and fiber, making them a fantastic choice for hormone balance. To prepare:
- Mix chia seeds with preferred milk (I love oat!) and a touch of vanilla extract. Let it sit overnight.
- Top with a homemade compote of mixed berries cooked down with a bit of honey, or my personal favourite is frozen blueberries from my family in Newfoundland!
💕This dessert is creamy, naturally sweet, and full of nutrients your body will love.
(Sometimes I like to mix in matcha green tea powder and maple syrup with the chia seeds before adding my oat milk – that’s the mango version!)
4. Spiced Hot Cocoa
Warm up with this comforting drink that’s both delicious and healthful:
- Heat almond milk with a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a dash of cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Sweeten with a touch of honey or maple syrup.
💕The cocoa and cinnamon work together to stabilize blood sugar, while the cayenne adds a hint of spice to boost circulation.
5. DIY Fruit Fondue
Make dessert interactive and fun with a fruit fondue station:
- Melt dark chocolate and keep it warm in a small pot or fondue set.
- Provide an assortment of fruits like banana slices, apple wedges, and pineapple chunks for dipping.
💕This is a great way to enjoy a variety of fruits while indulging in the antioxidant-rich goodness of dark chocolate.
