Double-Duty Desserts

Who says dessert is a forbidden indulgence during training? Sweet treats like Pineapple Soft-Serve, Two-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge, and Banana Cream Chia Pudding Parfaits are packed with ingredients that actually support your healthy lifestyle.

Of course, we also have recipes for a few desserts that are a bit more decadent, such as Triple Chocolate Icebox Cake, No-Bake Mocha Cheesecake, and Black Sesame–Ginger Quick Bread. Because every now and then, we like a little indulgence, too. And fortunately, if you limit foods with added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and oils to less than 10 percent of your total calories, it’s likely that your body won’t really notice a difference. Just don’t let 10 percent become 20; for some people it’s a very slippery slope.
