Wave goodbye to yesterday’s desserts and say hello to healthy ones!
Delicious Christmas desserts don’t have to be all about intense tiramisus, cakes bursting with cream or other heart-stopping sweets. The boom in healthy eating has brought with it new resources for creating fun, healthy, nutritious and delicious recipes. Since we know that there will be some Christmas binges in the way, we bet on healthy and light such as these three perfectly balanced desserts that make the most of the wonders of nuts and dried fruit. Packed with proteins, minerals, iron and tasty flavours, they are quick to make and easy on the wallet.
