Not only are these recipes guilt-free, but they’re also incredibly cheap, so you won’t have to worry about any massive spending on your credit card. Now, it’s time to give in and enjoy these healthy recipes that will surely eliminate any cravings for junk food!
Pineapple Nice Cream
Everyone certainly loves ice cream. However, this ice cream is called nice cream, and it’s 100% guilt-free. Our pineapple nice cream recipe features all fruit ingredients, and it’s dairy-free, and there’s absolutely no sugar! It also has a few hits of mango and lime that gives it its tropical flavors.
This pineapple nice cream recipe is incredibly simple and easy to prepare. You won’t need any fancy culinary degree to enjoy a guilt-free dessert like this one! All you’ll need is a food processor or a blender to blend your pineapple. It’s a frozen dessert that’s naturally sweet, and you can enjoy this guilt-free food alone, or you can top it off with more fresh fruits and a bit of toasted coconut.
Grilled Taco Pizza
It’s always the best time for pizza. Just because you’re trying to eat healthily doesn’t mean you have to completely turn your back on pizza. However, this means that you won’t be ordering pizza delivery through your credit card because you’ll have to prepare it on your own through a couple of unique ingredients.
This grilled pizza recipe will mimic the flavor of a wood-fired oven. The only difference is that it’ll cook fast, so you’ll have to make sure that your ingredients are all ready to go for speedy topping and flipping. All you’ll need are toppings that you usually find in classic tacos, including salsa and beans.
Once you’ve managed to master the method and process, you can easily use this recipe as a template for grilling pizza. You can simply swap the taco ingredients out for any toppings that you want!
Parmesan Zucchini Curly Fries (Baked)
This next recipe mimics one of the most famous junk foods. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lawyer, architect, engineer, or any other profession; we’re 100% sure that you’re a fan of fries. In this healthy recipe, we’ll be combining curly fries with fried zucchini. The only difference is that we’ll be baking these zucchini strips instead of deep-frying them in fatty oil.
You can prepare a simple dipping sauce made out of ranch dressing and marinara sauce. It’ll surely be a pleasing appetizer for chicken, burgers, and even pizza. Both of these are incredibly fun to eat, and they’re a fantastic and healthy treat for kids and adults alike.
Cinnamon-Sugar & Apple Cider Donuts
Care for some donuts? We’ve got some healthy options for donuts that you can munch on an uncontrollable degree! The best part? You won’t be packing on the calories with these donuts. These donuts look fluffy and light and expect a warm cinnamon flavor. It’s best to pair this tasty treat with a hot cup of coffee, just like how you’d enjoy a regular donut.
These healthy donuts also taste better if you infuse them with apple cider. However, apple cider can be incredibly hard to find all year round. In turn, you can easily take advantage of it when it’s “in season.” See to it that you make a couple of extra batches so you can enjoy the donuts when apple cider isn’t available. Moreover, you can easily freeze the donuts to preserve them for as long as you want.
Soy Lime Buffalo Wings (Baked)
Buffalo wings have been the staple of many events. A much-awaited sporting event wouldn’t be complete without this savory finger food. However, these buffalo wings aren’t your regular buffalo wings. So, don’t expect that they’ll taste the same as the buffalo wings that you’ll be ordering using your credit card!
In fact, these healthy buffalo wings taste even better! It’s amazing how these can taste incredibly good, minus the calories. All you’ll need is to purchase chicken wings in bulk and separate each into a drumette and a wingette. By dividing both, they’ll cook evenly. They’re incredibly easy to split apart with a knife. Once your homemade soy-lime baked chicken wings finish cooking, you can serve them with carrot sticks, ranch dressing, and celery.
Healthy Chocolate Avocado Shake
Our healthy chocolate avocado shake is guilt-free as it doesn’t have any dairy in it! It gets its creaminess from the avocado ingredients instead of ice cream. However, if you aren’t avoiding dairy in your diet, you can always use regular low-fat milk in the place of non-dairy chocolate chips. Any bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips will also do. Try it! It’s definitely worth spending your investment money on.
