Healthy desserts: myth or magic? #AugustBergInsiders

Looking for a guilt-free #FridayTreat? We've got you covered. 

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, staying somewhat healthy may pose a challenge to you. “Healthy desserts” may sound like a myth, with all the insta-worthy desserts you see everywhere, loaded with tons of sugar and calories. 

The thought of dessert shouldn’t fill you up with guilt. Call up your friends and indulge in these sweet treats together without compromising your health (and theirs). But remember, moderation is key!

Warning: There are NO acai bowls in this article.

1. All The Batter

First on the list is All The Batter - the first and only avocado-themed dessert and brunch cafe in Singapore. Their menu boasts everything-avocado: from savoury toasts to sweet treats like cakes, pastries, milkshakes, you name it. They also have vegan & egg-free, gluten-free, non-dairy, and diabetic-friendly (made with Low Glycemic Index sugar) options for those with dietary restrictions.

If you love avocados, this is the cafe for you.

Must-try dessert: The Avocado Rhapsody (also available with organic, low-GI sugar)

2. Birds of Paradise

This one’s for the east-siders.

Birds of Paradise creates premium gelatos inspired by the botanical flavours of nature. You won’t find the conventional vanilla or chocolate here. Instead, they use only natural (no artificial sugars and colourings) and botanical ingredients like fruits, flowers, pods, herbs, and spices found in Southeast Asia. Pair their gelatos with their signature thyme-infused cone and you’re good to go!

Must-try dessert: Their freshly-made thyme-infused cones (skip that cup, only for an additional $1!)

3. Delcie’s Desserts and Cakes

Delcie Lam believes that desserts can be enjoyed without guilt. Delcie's is the only bakery in Singapore that has been awarded the Healthier Choice Bakery certification by the Health Promotion Board. Rightfully so, as they specialise in vegan, diabetic-friendly, baby-friendly, keto, low-carb, and gluten-free cakes to cater to those with allergies, dietary restrictions, and the health-conscious. 

Want to have your cake and eat it too? Head on over to Delcie’s for some guilt-free treats.

4. Smoocht (formerly Brownice)

Formerly Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream & Kitchen, Smoocht prides itself in being the only “r’ice cream” in Singapore. That is, ice creams made from organic crystal brown rice. Everything in their menu is plant-based - from ice cream to pizzas. 

You’d be happy to know that all of their r’ice creams contain only 80 to 140 calories. That’s a third the calories of regular ice creams!

The Living Cafe serves raw, organic food free of dairy, red meat, refined sugars, additives, and preservatives. Not completely meat-free, they offer a small amount of white meat and fish in their menu. Housed in the Balanced Living wellness centre, it is a one-stop centre for food, holistic health products and consultations, yoga and meditation, workshops, and many more. Think of it as THE place for everything health and wellness-related.

They also serve organic wine and beer. Who’s to say a drink or two isn’t good for you?
