Question: I love dessert. What is the healthiest cookie or dessert?
Answer: I think fresh fruits and berries make the best and healthiest desserts. Fruits and berries can be eaten plain or dressed up with a bit of whipped cream or vanilla flavored soy beverage and topped off with a sprinkle of healthy nuts like walnuts or almond slices.

If you prefer something warm, our Alternative Medicine guide offers Peach and Blackberry Crunch
