Nothing says summer like guilt-free desserts. Looking for healthier desserts can be a bit of a struggle, though, as they either don’t satisfy our cravings or simply don’t match up when it comes to flavour. But we’re happy to say that getting guilt-free desserts doesn’t have to be so difficult or compromise on flavour. Here are six places you can find right here in Cairo that offer just that.

 

Açairo

No one makes açai bowls and smoothies like Açairo. Not only are they delicious, but they’re infused with various superfoods to keep you satisfied and in good shape. They have much more than smoothies, though. Between delicious oatmeal and scrumptious chocolate chip cookies, their desserts are free of refined sugar or dairy, making them as guilt-free as they are tasty.
