I am a really picky eater and would much rather eat sugary treats than vegetables and even fruits.  

However, I am trying to incorporate more healthy food into my diet.  I do enjoy many fruits and vegetables, but desserts are so much better and therein lies my problem.  

So I’ve been looking into tastier options.  Here are 13 that I have found:

** Disclaimer: I have NOT tried these yet so I will update this post as I experiment. **
*** 2nd Disclaimer: I am lacking specific instructions for some of these;
(your help would be appreciated). ***

1. A DIP FOR APPLES:
Mix the following ingredients:
1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
2 TBSP orange juice
1/2 Cup Vanilla Yogurt

2. HEALTHY POPSICLES:
Freeze 100% Fruit Juice in popsicle molds

3. HEALTHY DESSERT:
Small bowl of fruit capped with a small scoop of ice cream
Examples: blueberries, strawberries, bananas, raspberries

4. SMOOTHIE:
Blend these ingredients:
3/4 cup juice
1/2 cup yogurt
1 cup frozen raspberries or blueberries

5. HEALTHY DESSERT:
Half peaches, drizzle honey and sprinkle with ginger and pecans.
Bake in the oven.  (I’m not sure about time or temperature… insights anyone?)

6. APPLE BAKE:
Core an apple, fill with nuts and dried fruit.  Bake.

7. VEGETABLE SIDE:
Steam green beans with onion. Add a garlic clove to the water

8. STIR FRY:
(I have to look into how to actually do this.)

9. HEALTHY DESSERT:
Pear and apple slices (peeled) in a skillet with a little butter.
Add marmalade and orange slices

10. SAUTED SIDES:
Spinach with garlic and olive oil

11. Saute various colored peppers and onions

12. ADDITION TO SALAD/SANDWICHES/ANTIPASTO:
Roast Red Peppers at 450 degrees, turning every 15 minutes until skin is blackened.
Peel and slice. Drizzle in olive oil and garlic.
Refrigerate.

13. ROASTED SIDE:
Brussel sprouts drizzled lightly with olive oil, sprinkled with salt
