We have good news about eating healthier: you don’t have to give up all the foods you love.

The secret to keeping them in your life is by “health-ifying” them. Replace the blood sugar-surging, inflammatory-causing ingredients with ones the stabilize energy and keep your body functioning at its best.

Here at Parsley Health, we know that the occasional sweet treat is a necessity.
We’ve compiled a list of healthier versions that combine two essential elements: protein and healthy fat .

Black Bean Brownies

Not only are these gluten - and dairy -free, but the secret ingredient–black beans!–packs a high protein and fiber punch. Plus, there’s a healthy dose of coconut oil. Both allow the slow release of of sugar into your blood stream. Get the recipe .
