Loving the bright colours and am looking forward to St. Patrick’s day! It always makes for the best night out, or indoors with friends and good food 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration! x

What a wonderful roundup, Katie! Your sautéed kale looks incredible…good thing I’m running to TJs tomorrow so I can pick up some kale!
I just posted a green Pesto Hummus today! It’s a healthier take on the classic Italian herb sauce! http://www.fooduzzi.com/2015/03/pesto-hummus/
Kelly says

I love the spinach ice cream!
Betty says
oooo green spring colours put me in a good mood! I’m not Irish but I will most certainly be making a few of these. That Key Lime Pie has particularly tickled my pickle!

Never would have thought of spinach ice cream, but I love the concept and it looks so good!
Alex @ time to choose joy says
I am super excited to get all festive for St. Patty’s day!! Thanks for this!!
Annie @ Natural Sweet Recipes says
Wow, all those recipes look delicious, I would have no clue they are low calorie. I have been meaning to try your Mint Chocolate Fudge Pie. That is one recipe I see all the time on Pinterest. 🙂 It looks amazing!!
Nicole {VeganShowOff.com} says
Wow, nice roundup! I can’t believe some of these are under 200 calories. Of course I would have to have multiple servings totally ruining the 200 calorie thing though : )
Hollie says
I like St. Patricks day because it gives me an excuse to drink Guinness and add it to everything…at least that is what I tell myself.
Ash says
Love this post! I am 100% Irish and I will definitely be trying out some of your recipes, as well as posting some of my own on my website and instagram @happy.veggie

These look so delicious, especially the truffles!!! I have a few ‘green’ St.Patty’s day inspired recipes too (including a shamrock shake-they’re so popular, aren’t they?!).

Cora says
Gosh! These recipes look absolutely positutely AMAZING!!
Cora says
I’ll have to try them out!!! Especially the fudge and brownie one 😉 this girl likes her chocolate 😛
Chelsea says
Just made the mint Nanaimo bars, so amazing! And I have to say, bless your American heart for featuring a Canadian dessert. 🙂 I searched a few recipes for healthified Nanaimo bars, and I was surprised how few there were. Delicious, my dear, loved by traditional Nanaimo haters and lovers, because it’s not cloyingly sweet but still rich.
Freddy Falck says
I really couldn’t contain myself after seeing all these mouth water pictures of the desserts. What is more astounding is that all these desserts look immensely rich yet are all under 100 calories. I couldn’t help smack my lips after seeing the chocolate fudge truffle, the gooey brownie and mint chocolate fudge pie. Recipes for any one of them would make my day!
