How Sweet It Is - iYogaLife.com

Desserts don’t have to be an artery-clogging, waist-widening indulgence. “By replacing certain ingredients - like using fruit juices instead of sugar - and subbing in others like oat flour, bittersweet chocolate, and whole grains, you can make a sweet-tasting, filling dish that’s actually good for you,” says Jennifer Iserloh, the Skinny Chef, in her recipe published on iyogalife.com in fall 2006.

Paige Greenfield’s article shares Jennifer’s heart-healthy desserts that keep tastebuds and body happy. Here, four easy desserts that will satisfy even the most insistent sweet tooth (yup, we’ve got chocolate) and keep your heart healthy—all for less than 220 calories and 5g fat:

• Almond and Apricot Biscotti
