Healthy, Real Food Desserts?!
I may have mentioned that I don’t have the biggest sweet tooth in the world (I’ll choose a pile of salty french fries to dip in ranch dressing over a tray of brownies any day), but even I have a hankering for dessert sometimes. And my kids – and hubby – certainly do.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could make HEALTHY – but delicious – desserts for your family, made with REAL FOOD?
Well, you can. And Kate Tietje, of Modern Alternative Mama, can show you how.
Her new eBook Treat Yourself: Real Food Desserts provides you with over 30 recipes to tempt your taste buds, without the guilt!
I’ll be doing a full review later in the month but in the meantime, check out what Kate says about the recipes in her latest book:
They’re full-fat, full flavor, and low-sugar. There’s no white flour, white sugar, or vegetable oil to be found. In fact, they’re all based on sprouted flour, soaked flour, or almond flour, if flour is used at all (yes, there are several grain-free and even GAPS-friendly treats!).
The best part? Even though Treat Yourself is only $7.95, you can get it for even less with these book-launch specials:
*Use DESSERTLAUNCH35 for 35% off Treat Yourself, through midnight TONIGHT (Aug. 30th).
*Use DESSERTLAUNCH20 for 20% off Treat Yourself, through Friday, Sept. 2nd.
Bonus Savings!
To celebrate the launch, Kate is also offering 10% off all of her other eBooks with the code 10OFFEBOOKS (through Friday, Sept. 2nd):
*Against the Grain – Read my review – and see bonus recipes – here and here.
*In the Kitchen – Real Food Basics – Read my week-long review (with bonus recipes) beginning here.
*Healthy Pregnancy Superfoods – A great book for those who are pregnant, lactating, convalescing after surgery or illness, or just looking to incorporate more nutrient dense superfoods into their diet.
Mmm… I think I’m off to try some grain-free, dairy-free, GAPS-friendly Lemon Cake…
