Healthy Cake Pop Recipes

These cute chick cake pops are packed with vanilla frosting and fresh strawberries!

You'll woo your sweetheart with these delightful cake pops!

This quick and healthy side dish takes just minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables. (And if you don't like using butter spray, you could melt a few pats of butter and brush the butter on with a pastry brush - whatever your preference!)

When you're craving something sweet, pop one of these little healthy treats

The way I see it is this: Why eat fake food, when you can portion-control the real deal? It's not an every day food, but it will SATISFY, and doesn't taste like styrofoam! ;-)

My Mom's dump and mix cake recipe, made healthy!

Clean and Healthy Paleo frosting
Great for pumpkin or gingerbread spiced cakes

A sweet treat for 2! Or make it for yourself and put half ina ziplock bag for later :)

This is a yummy, healthy breakfast option

This is a spin-off of the chili my mom makes! I turned it healthy by subbing turkey for beef and tried to reduce the sodium a bit. Took this to a TOPS holiday potluck and it was a hit!

If you are still concerned about the sodium content, I recommend finding low sodium salsa or omitting the taco seasoning packet all together. Also, using ground turkey breast reduces the already minimal fat content.

Popcorn makes a great snack, but can be a little mundane. Chili, garlic, and cumin give this popcorn a kick!

Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Fruit? No Weigh!

Low calorie snack the kids will enjoy

This gives the taste combination of kettle corn - buttery, sweet and salty, without the added fat, sugar or salt.

Homemade applesauce is both simple and a great way to use up fresh apples. Two pieces of equipment will make this a simple and healthy recipe. You need a slow cooker and a food mill. Mine is made by OXO. I use this WONDERFUL kitchen tool for creamy mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie and apple sauce.
You don't have to peel or core the apples. Just cook them, and the mill will do the rest of the work!

Can't afford those 100 calorie snack packs that are all over the place any more? How about making your own?? I found this recipe on Kraft!

Ok, this was not easy to add ingredients to from Kraft to here, since I obviously do not know how many teddy grams to add to get the proper equivalents. I got it close though.

Gourmet coconut-oil popped corn seasoned with Adobo. An awesome solution when you find yourself seized by those late-night cravings for chips. Coconut oil is a healthy fat that promotes weight loss. Adobo seasoning is enhanced with cumin to offer an exotic, salty treat. Makes 4 generous three-cup servings.

Gelatin and air-popped popcorn turn a plain old snack into something worth cheering for!

These are so cute and colorful! The kiwi in the bottom of the cup not only adds more fruit and color to the freezer pop, it also holds the stick in place.

Desperate for chocolate, popcorn, and salt, I stopped and created this at home. Stove-popped popcorn in coconut oil was my base, and I added other items I had on hand (all measured and portioned out into 7 different baggies). This could EASILY be adapted and made lower-calorie, but I'm happy with what I have!

My next variation will switch out the M&Ms for organic chocolate chips, but I wanted to use these M&Ms up in a healthier way.

Air-popped equivalent

Just put in a paper bag, pop in the microwave and add your favorite seasonings!

One way to add flavoring to bland air-popped popcorn.

Great for popping in the oven, quick and easy.

Blueberries really make the colors and flavors pop.

These sophisticated popped are stuffed with creamy Gouda cheese, a bit of bacon, and tomatoes.

With just six ingredients, these rich pops are simple to make and fun to eat!

Just like at the Fair!

Break out the movies! 2 cups of herby, cheesy popcorn for 133 calories, 5.4 grams of MUFAs (the cholesterol fighter), and NO BAD CHOLESTEROL!!! You just try to get that from two cups of chips!
