Who says you cannot satisfy your sweet tooth if you are on a diet? No matter how strict your dieting routine is, dessert can always be made room for, period.

Worry no more, because these recipes that Team Nutright has collected for you are not only low in calories but also taste absolutely divine!
The best part is, none of these actually use those awkwardly complicated ingredients that are hard to find. Happy summer baking! Oh, and happy dieting!
