Exploring NYC’s Healthy Sweet Treats: A Weekend Adventure 🍰🚶♀️
Last Sunday, I embarked on an exciting journey in New York City, indulging in a variety of healthy sweet treats that left my taste buds tingling with delight! 🌟 My love for walking fueled my day; I enjoyed a brisk stroll through different neighborhoods, snacking on delicious desserts along the way. From West Village to Williamsburg, I explored numerous cozy spots that specialize in organic and sugar-free treats. Here’s a recap of this delightful day! 🌈
Bonberi Mart: A Must-Visit Sweet Spot 🍪
Starting off at Bonberi Mart, I had to try the Bonberi house milk (with an extra $1.5). Made from organic Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, and almonds, its creamy texture perfectly balanced the espresso’s bitterness. Paired with a Refined-Sugar Free (RSF) muffin, it made for an energizing breakfast! You can enjoy your treats while strolling along the river in the West Village, soaking in the warm sunshine and gentle breeze. ☀️🌊
Knead & Love: Soft Cookies to Swoon Over ❤️
Next on my route was Knead & Love at the 79th Greenmarket. I couldn’t resist their RSF cookies, especially the Miso Matcha and Chocolate varieties. The pumpkin seed flour gives these cookies a unique flavor; just be gentle when picking them up as they are delightfully soft and delicate. Afterward, I grabbed a Rhubarb Strawberry cake from their charming pink booth, which had a line of eager fans waiting to savor their input! 🍰💖
GoodSugar: Feel-Good Treats Galore 🫙
At GoodSugar, I returned my jar for a $0.5 credit; carrying these jars definitely felt like a workout! I started with an Antioxidant Shot, which was refreshing and energizing. Though I tried the new Cookie 2.0, it didn’t impress me as much. However, I made up for it by taking home their beloved Super Healthy Tiramisu. Each dessert keeps me fueled and ready for more city exploration! 🌆✨
Sixteen Mill Bakeshop: A Sweet Ensemble 🎉
Stopping by Sixteen Mill Bakeshop, I couldn’t resist sampling their extensive menu. Recently remodeled, they now feature window service and a cozy exterior with a couple of tables. I had a taste of their limited-time Bibingka, a delightful treat with a chewy texture, along with their popular RSF donuts. Every bite was pure bliss! For a satisfying end, I took a stroll around Prospect Park, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. 🍩🌳
Happy Zoe Vegan Bakery: Guilt-Free Indulgence 🌱
Next on the adventure was Happy Zoe Vegan Bakery, where I indulged in no-added-sugar ice cream. The banana base was delightful, with flavors like carob and soursop adding exciting layers. I also picked up a sugar-free raw cheesecake made from cashews and organic figs, which was a perfect treat to cool off after lounging in McCareen Park. With street performers and children playing, it created a wonderfully joyous vibe. 🎶🍦
Wrapping Up This Sweet Journey! 🌟
This sweet escapade through New York City was not only a feast for the palate but also an opportunity to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and beauty of the parks. Each dessert I tried and every spot I visited showcased the city’s commitment to healthy living without sacrificing taste! While everyone has their favorites, I highly encourage giving these places a try. Embrace the adventure and share your experiences! 😊💬
