A healthy diet is critical for patients diagnosed with cancer. Good nutrition strengthens the immune system and helps keep the body strong during stressful times.
But just because you are eating healthy, doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself of a sweet treat. Desserts and sweet snacks can be healthy too, especially when they are low in fat and sugar and made with fresh ingredients.
So, if you’re looking for a little decadence—but, without the guilt—try these sweet treats.
