Lately I’ve been trying to swap healthier substitutes for junk food if I want something I don’t typically eat. Don’t get me wrong, if I’m realllly craving the real thing I’ll have it, but more and more I’d prefer not to feel sluggish. This dessert is filled with vitamins and minerals and has no refined sugar so I can eat it and still feel good.

Sometimes you just need a little chocolate pudding to deal with the hills and valleys of life. That being said, traditional chocolate comfort will just make you fat and then you’ll be dealing with a lot more valleys than hills. Here’s a five minute mousse recipe that will satisfy AND nourish you.

Name one person who doesn’t need unicorn dairy-free 5 minute fudge…..go on, I’ll wait. These took me literally five minutes to prep, pop them in the freezer, and you have the cutest little grab and go fudgey, decadent desserts. Tip: like regular fudge they melt, so only take them out when you’re ready to eat them. ALSO, if you use minimal sweetener they are keto for those of you who are into that sort of thing.

Ever since I was maybe 2 years old I’ve eaten raw cookie dough. Luckily I never got salmonella, but being old enough to know better I try to avoid food illnesses. This dough is a total dupe for ‘real’ cookie dough, takes 5 minutes to make, and is basically guilt free since it’s mostly chickpeas. In-fucking-sane. Try it!

I did a similar post a few months ago, but since then I significantly jazzed up these little treats. I made 45 and it took ~2 hours. They’re honestly super easy but bring them to a dinner party and let everyone marvel at how talented you are.

Un. Real. Recipe is for 6 but you might as well make 100 because they’re so good AND they take under 5 minutes to make. Before diving in, know you can indulge relatively guilt free: dates are loaded with minerals, have a low glycemic impact, and contain a ton of fiber for your digestive system.
