Is your day not complete without dessert? Are you the one person at the table who does want to see the dessert menu, when everyone else (cowards) shakes their heads, pats their full tummies and says, “I couldn’t possibly?” Do you believe a host who doesn’t serve dessert at her dinner party is a bad host? I feel you. I also feel the extra pant size I carry because of my love of dessert. If you aren’t willing to give up the literal maraschino cherry on top of your day, you can at least find ways to make your sweet dishes healthier. By adding fiber to a dish, you make that food more filling, so you won’t need as many bites before you feel satisfied. Here are easy, smart ways to add fiber to your dessert (so you can feel less bad about it).
