If you're trying to eat healthy, indulging can feel scary...and HARD. It can seem like all of the sweet treats you crave are full of things that won't make you feel great tomorrow. 😅
 
We feel you...and we've got your back. 😍  Most of these recipes fit with either gluten-free or vegan dietary needs, OR you can totally sub in the flour or milk of your choice...they'll taste amazing either way!!! Plus, some of them are NO-BAKE and super quick if you only have 10 minutes!! ⏱
 
GUYS we have so much goodness in this roundup of recipes!! We can't even decide which to make first!!

Just LOOK at that perfectly purple marbled texture!!! (Isn't there something that's just so satisfying about food that looks as good as it tastes???) Blueberries provide the rich purple-y tint to these vegan cheesecake bars, but they're ready to help you with SO MUCH MORE.

The nutrients in blueberries provide some crazy-good benefits to help keep you healthy.....and they can even help with muscle soreness, which means that you HAVE to try these after a workout. Although, did we really need an excuse to justify this NO-BAKE deliciousness????
