At J&D Ultracare, we work hard to provide professional nursing services to to the medically fragile population of the New York Metropolitan area. While our in-home nursing specializes in providing personal care for kids, our blog is a great place to review general health tips that can help everyone. This includes creating healthy habits, like our “Four Tips For Keeping Your Kids Hydrated” post that encourages kids to drink enough liquids during the hot summer days.
This week, we wanted to write about some healthy desserts that your kids will love. This is a great way to get your kids to eat healthier without them even realizing it. With the right recipe, you can make a healthy dessert that tastes just as good as the unhealthy, sugary desserts!

You can find healthy dessert recipes on a fantastic website called Taste of Home. We picked five of our favorite desserts from the site and listed them below, but if you want to find more, check out their article called “15 Healthy Desserts for Kids They’ll Actually Want to Eat“. Each recipe in the post has a user review that will tell you how good they taste!
- Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake: This gluten-free chocolate cake is a yummy treat that everyone can enjoy. Sometimes I stir in gluten-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variety. —Nichele McCague, Poway, California
- Carrot Cookie Bites: This recipe is a longtime family favorite. The cookies are soft and delicious, and the aroma while baking is absolutely irresistible! I’m always being asked for the recipe. —Jeanie Petrik, Greensburg, Kentucky
- Chunky Banana Cream Freeze: Everyone loves ice cream, but we all know it doesn’t make a great after-school snack. Until this! With its sweet banana-almond flavor and chunky texture, this appealing banana peanut butter “ice cream” is a crowd-pleaser. People who ask me for the recipe can’t believe how easy it is to make. —Kristen Bloom, Okinawa, Japan
- Mixed Berry Sundaes for 2: Before serving yogurt sundaes, get ready for requests for seconds. Our family enjoys them for breakfast, but they’re sweet enough for dessert. What an easy way to get our fruit and calcium. —Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah
- Frozen Berry & Yogurt Swirls: I enjoy these frozen yogurt pops because they double as a healthy snack and a cool, creamy sweet treat. —Colleen Ludovice, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
