These Desserts are the Best Way to Eat More Vegetables

With the age of the internet has come countless food blogs of every niche imaginable. While some food bloggers keep things classic with dessert recipes utilizing butter, cream, and sugar, others are a bit more experimental.

Many design their recipes with a healthy focus in mind, and some have even found ways to incorporate vegetables. Don’t get us wrong, they often still contain sugar, but at least you can feel good about getting some extra vitamins and minerals while you indulge, not to mention the added fiber will help keep you full. Here are some of our favorite veg-filled desserts.

No-Bake Red Velvet Slice from Panaceas Pantry

This raw red velvet slice has all of the chocolate that we love in a red velvet cake but is made red using shredded beetroot rather than food coloring. Beets are high in fiber and also contain nutrients good for heart health.

Minimalist Baker’s Sweet Potato Brownies

These brownies are so fudgy and decadent that you’d never know they’re made with sweet potato. Give them a try to get your daily dose of vitamin A in the most enjoyable way—they’re even better topped with ice cream. 

Carrot Cake Balls

Most of us are familiar with carrot cake, but if you’re pressed for time, baking a cake isn’t always the best option. Instead, we give you these carrot cake balls. They’re light and sweet with all of that familiar carrot cake flavor. You can serve them plain or even roll them in coconut.
