How to Apply This

  1. Make healthy desserts.
    Some examples of healthy desserts are:

     - mixed fresh and dried fruit with nuts
     - ice cream made from frozen bananas and some plant milk (you can add some frozen berries)
     - whole-grain waffles or pancakes (without added refined sugar and oils)
     - brownies made from beans/chickpeas/whole grain flour + cacao and some allowed sweetener
     - vegan cakes (you can make the crust for your healthy cakes using nuts and dates and put some fresh fruits on the top)
     - you can add cocoa powder, shredded coconut, flaxseed, honey, agave, maple syrup, nuts, vanilla, and cinnamon to your desserts 
     - use plant milk such as oat milk, rice milk, almond milk, soya milk, coconut milk instead of cow’s milk to make your deserts

  2. Make healthy snacks.
    Some examples of healthy snacks are:
     - fresh raw vegetables such as cucumber, carrots, peppers
     - sweet potato or kale chips
     - graham crackers
     - pea guacamole with fresh or baked vegetables
