As an avid dessert lover and low carb recipe enthusiast, I thought I would share one of my favorite low carb desserts that doesn’t compromise indulgence in the slightest bit.
Diets In December?
I always say this and it is still true. December is the hardest month to try and stick to a healthy low carb lifestyle. At least it is for me! Which is why it’s my favorite month to experiment especially with deserts. Ever since I was a kid I’ve associated December with deserts and cookies and ice cream and chocolate. That’s been my vibe for years. But lately my vibe has been make it tasty, but healthy and low carb.
How To Make A Brownie Healthy
A healthy and low carb dessert is great for two reasons, health and over indulging. I am definitely an over indulging type of desert eater and probably will be until my last days on earth. Therefore, if I can make a dessert that is not only nutritious, but won’t kick me out of ketosis, then amazing!
So today’s low carb blogmas special dessert is the Avocado Brownie. While you may be a bit skeptical at the thought of combining avocado and chocolate, trust me you won’t be sorry.
