Lighter Favorites
If you’re craving your favorite comfort foods but looking to lighten things up, this collection includes healthier takes on the classics.
You’ll find a variety of high-protein versions of classic snacks, wholesome side dishes, lightened-up desserts, and more.
Want something to satisfy your cravings while providing a healthy boost of protein? Try one of my protein-packed cottage cheese-based creations, such as vanilla (or chocolate!) cottage cheese mousse or cottage cheese mushroom dip.
If mashed potatoes are your go-to side dish, you’ll find a few revamped versions that will hit the spot without the heaviness. Indulge in carrot and swede mash, creamy mashed potatoes and cauliflower, or a simple yet satisfying side of mashed carrots –all of which capture the creaminess of the traditional mashed potatoes you know and love.
Love ice cream? You don’t want to miss my vegan chocolate ice cream or the refreshing raspberry-flavored version –both naturally sweetened and free of refined sugars. And for a dessert that allows you to have your cake and eat it, too, try my healthy apple cake or eggless chocolate cupcakes.
Whether you’re planning for the holidays, a casual dinner party with friends, or weekday family dinners, these recipes are the perfect way to lighten up the menu while still indulging in the flavors you love!
