So, I’ve rounded up 12 healthy desserts under 100 calories to help you indulge in the cleanest way possible.
Many dessert foods today are packed with refined sugars and high in fat. Not only does this lead to unnecessary weight gain, it also has a hand in the deterioration of your body. Bad-for-you desserts can result in mood swings, a poor metabolism, and all kinds of illnesses.
