Got a sweet tooth? Here are 30 Healthy Dessert Recipes for you to try!
Hi Friends!
Today is a big day. It’s my birthday! And not just any birthday. I’m turning 30! Eeeeek! So it seems only natural that we talk about healthy dessert recipes.
On Monday hubby threw me a little surprise birthday party (he’s the best) so I got to celebrate in person with my friends and family! Now if I could just figure out a way togettogether with all of my fabulous blogger friends and readers to celebrate as well, my birthday would be perfect!Since I can’t, we’ll have to settle for celebrating virtually. To make it more fun, I invited 30 of my favorite food bloggers to my virtual party and asked them to bring dessert. Here are 30 of their favorite dessert recipes for everyone to check out! Funny thing is, I never said anything about them having to be healthy. That’s just how it ended up. Fairly healthy, as far as desserts goes. I guess that’s just how me and my bloggy friends roll!
Get ready to start drooling. And be sure to pin some of these so you can make them for yourself later! I tried to notate any special dietary categories they fit into if applicable.

Oh my gosh! Thanks for compiling and sharing this list. I’ve always had a hard time looking away from desserts. At least this way I won’t be breaking my healthy diet as much.
