23 Healthy Green Dessert Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day

It hit me that I am coming up on my SIXTH year of blogging this April (how and why can time fly by so quickly?!?).  So today I’m going through the archives and sharing a bunch of green recipes I’ve posted over the years, to bring you this ahhhmazing list of 23 HEALTHY green dessert recipes!

Why green?  Well, I don’t know if I’m totally alone on this one, but I associate every month with a different color:

Orange for October

Baby blue for December

Pink for February

Green for March

Does anyone else do this?  Or am I totally insane and alone on that one?  Aaaaanywayssss…  I’m just gonna OWN IT and “celebrate” this weirdness by providing y’all with this green dessert roundup!

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and March (aka #GreenDessertMonth) with me and eat some naturally green sweets!  Let’s get started.

1.  Healthy Key Lime Cheesecake

Okay, this isn’t technically green, but it has green key lime zest + juice in it!  If you like Key Lime Pie and if you’re obsessed with cheesecake, then you’ll LOVE this Key Lime Cheesecake.  It tastes so sinful, you’d never know it’s low calorie, sugar free, high protein, and gluten free.  This is to DIE FOR.

Each bite is sweet, refreshing, and delicious, you'd never suspect it's sugar free, gluten free, and high protein. -- Healthy Dessert Recipes with sugar free, low calorie, low fat, high protein, gluten free, dairy free and vegan options at the Desserts With Benefits Blog (www.DessertsWithBenefits.com)
