VEGAN BLUEBERRY "CHEESECAKE" CUPS

Hello food lovers!

I haven’t posted for some days since I am on vacation for the holidays in Barcelona, my hometown!

I am sharing with you these delicious raw vegan blueberry mini “cheesecakes” today! It’s a great option for Christmas healthy dessert!

I love cheesecake made with cream cheese, it’s probably one of the only dairy products I consume occasionally (along with goat milk/yogurt, since it’s easier to digest) BUT the flavour, taste and consistency of cashews with blueberry is delicious!!! It certainly makes vegan cheesecakes a great yummy option!

So this lovely cups are gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free and vegan!

DIABETIC DIET TIP

One of the best healthy desserts for diabetics would be a healthy cheesecake actually… think about it. Healthy cheesecake is made with cheese or cashews, both are healthy fats with barely carbohydrates or sugars. The cookie base can be done with any kind of nut. And the sweetness can be added in form of coconut sugar or some kind of fruit or syrup or stevia!

In this case, this healthy raw vegan “cheesecake” is made with a cashew-blueberry filling!

One of these cups will be a great option when you’re craving a piece of cheesecake! It could also be done with cream cheese, but I like to have an option for my vegan readers! Besides, I like dairy but I try to limit my intake!

So because of the healthy fats and the lack of refined sugars in this healthy “cheesecake”, you won’t experience sugar spikes as long as you have stable blood sugar levels around 80-110 mg/dL before devouring a slice!

Remember, balance is key for a healthy diabetic lifestyle so make sure your portions are moderate and at the right times!!

See you on the next post!
