Sorry folks! I am doing it again! Waving the sweet indulgent treats in front of you. Hey at least I have included a few healthy options in this Saint Patrick’s Day Desserts and Beverages: The Only 25 Irish Green Sweet Treats You Will Need round-up
What is a holiday without festive sweet treats and beverages?
Yep… your right, a lame one.
But!! Let’s be honest with ourselves is one cookie going to make you gain those 10 pounds you worked so hard to lose this year? Probably not, it is the 2nd followed by the 3rd and before you know it eating a dozen that gains that weight back.
Self-control when it comes to food is one of the hardest feats because I know what you’re saying, “Who just eats one cookie?”
And your right it is hard to eat one.
But for the rest of your getting healthy journey aka the rest of your life (who is going to get healthy just for a few months and say that’s good) self-control will always be there waiting to be trained.
So, if you want to indulge in the holidays, make a recipe off this Saint Patrick’s Day Desserts and Beverages List, I recommend inviting a few girlfriends over. Friends that are going through the struggle just like you and pick one of these amazing recipes and divide it between everyone.
This is not giving in, this is teaching yourself moderation and self-control. To make it easier this year I included some healthier, low calorie, gluten free, fruit-loaded choices, healthy choices. But to be fair since this is Saint Patrick’s Day Desserts and Beverage round-up I also included some indulgent holiday treats as well.

February 16, 2018 at 2:49 pmI love St. Patrick’s Day. There are so many fun choices!! Mint chocolate chip is my favorite so I am definitely going to need some of that.
Leah Ashley says
February 17, 2018 at 2:19 pmI can’t wait to make that Mint Chocolate Cake I just need a few friends to split it with first!! If I make it the kids and I will eat every crumb in one sitting and then we will be complaining of tummy aches

February 17, 2018 at 8:29 amWe don’t celebrate Saint Patrick’s day where I live, but I LOVE that everything is green – it’s one of my favourite colours and I usually associate it with mint, when it comes to sweet things.
Those macaroons look a-mazing.
Leah Ashley says
February 17, 2018 at 2:15 pmWe really don’t celebrate anymore, but it is still fun to do a few crafts and make a few festive goodies with the kids!!
