One of the things that always feels like it’s missing when eating healthfully or starting a new healthy nutrition protocol is dessert. Guess what - it doesn’t have to be that way at all. Dessert in the Mediterranean lifestyle isn’t about cutting things out — it’s about simplicity, quality ingredients, and enjoyment. In fact, the Mediterranean lifestyle is all about balance and that includes those foods that you love.

Instead of oversized portions or ultra-sweet treats, Mediterranean desserts tend to focus on fruit, nuts, yogurt, dark chocolate, and natural sweetness. They’re meant to be enjoyed regularly, without guilt or overthinking.
