While chocolate is always a great treat for dessert, fruit recipes can be just as delicious, where you can have healthy options that work for both dessert and breakfast. Whether you want lemon recipes or easy banana recipes, the fruit you choose will taste great with other tasty ingredients, like oats, nut butter, and even (yes) chocolate! Here are a few easy and simple healthy fruit dessert recipes that double as great breakfast options that the whole family will love.
Coconut Ice Cream Sammies
Coconut gives you that sweet and nutty flavor and texture that’s sweet but also not overwhelmingly sweet. One of our favorite coconut recipes? Ice cream sandwiches. Grab five Coconut Bobo’s Oat Bites and five scoops of vanilla ice cream for easy sammies that take five minutes to prepare. After two hours in the freezer they’ll be ready to eat.
Lean Mean Green Coconut Smoothie

Lovely Lemon Curd
Lemon recipes are light and refreshing, and they can be enjoyed as good alternatives to chocolate for dessert. This vegan lemon curd recipe can be savored as is with a spoon or poured on top of Lemon Poppyseed Oat Bites (aka ‘mini muffins’) for a good lemon breakfast option. Use maple syrup for natural sweetness.

This easy banana recipe can be great for breakfast or a healthy dessert, since it has the fall flavor of pumpkin pie to complement the fruit.
