It hit me that I am coming up on my SIXTH year of blogging this April (how and why can time fly by so quickly?!?). So today I’m going through the archives and sharing a bunch of green recipes I’ve posted over the years, to bring you this ahhhmazing list of 23 HEALTHY green dessert recipes!
Why green?
Well, I don’t know if I’m totally alone on this one, but I associate every month with a different color:
Orange for October ?
Baby blue for December ??
Pink for February ?
Green for March ?
Does anyone else do this? Or am I totally insane and alone on that one? ?
Aaaaanywayssss… I’m just gonna OWN IT and “celebrate” this weirdness by providing y’all with this green dessert roundup, and sharing ONLY green food on my Instagram for the entire month of March!

1. Healthy Key Lime Cheesecake
Okay, this isn’t technically green, but it has green key lime zest + juice in it! If you like Key Lime Pie and if you’re obsessed with cheesecake, then you’ll LOVE this Key Lime Cheesecake.

2. Healthy Matcha Green Tea Fudge DIY Protein Bars
This is hands down THE most popular recipe in my DIY Protein Bars Cookbook! It’s so soft and fudgy, the color is spot on, and it’s topped off with a chocolate drizzle (dark chocolate and white chocolate are both amazing). You’d never know it’s gluten free and vegan too, shhhh!
