There’s frozen yogurt, and now, what we never expected would come from the maker’s of every broken-hearted girl’s best friends, there’s frozen Greek yogurt! Â Greek yogurt tends to be much healthier than regular yogurt due to its process of straining out more whey than regular yogurt, leaving a creamier, thicker, more protein enriched texture to devour. Â Pints and mini-cup sizes are now offered in four Ben & Jerry Greek frozen yogurt flavors: Strawberry Shortcake, Raspberry Fudge Chunk, Banana Peanut Butter, and Blueberry Vanilla Graham. Â There’s no reason to feel sad when hanging out with B & J anymore!Â

Who doesn’t love pudding? Â And chocolate? And… sweet potatoes? Â While this trio might sound conflicting, if you think about it, we all pile marshmallows onto our sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving anyway, why not try a different sugary friend for once? Â Chocolate Sweet Potato Pudding – it’s vegan, cures your sweet tooth, flatters your figure, and takes 5 minutes to make. Â What a tasty after school snack!
THREE
Mmm cheese. Â It’s just so… cheesy! Â Pass on the pizza and mozzarella sticks and save room for cheese in your dessert with Frozen Chocolate Ricotta S’mores! Â Ricotta isn’t only made for canolis anymore. Â These cute little squares of heaven mix two of a girl’s favorite food groups: cheese & chocolate!

Another great recipe for the cheese lover, Berry Pizza! Â Whodathunk? Â This recipe is so simple and easy, you would’ve thought we’d all been making it by now. Â Pile your favorite berries atop ricotta cheese and a flour tortilla, bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, and dig in!
FIVE
I couldn’t resist telling you all about one of my favorite healthy desserts of all time – Zucchini Bread. Â Calling it healthy may an exaggeration, but hey, if the title’s got a vegetable in it, I’m going to say the calories don’t count! Â Zucchini bread is an awesome baked good to eat in the summer when summer squash is popular. Â Add mini chocolate chips to the batter for a recipe to die for!Â
