How Does Intermittent Fasting Work?
First, let’s talk briefly about how intermittent fasting works. Intermittent fasting is not your typical caloric restriction diet trend. An intermittent fasting pattern gives your body breaks from eating for a certain window of time. Instead of eating throughout the day, you choose specific times when you’ll eat, and the rest of the time, your body has brief periods of fasting which gives your body a rest from calorie intake and digesting food.
This approach helps your body use stored energy, like fat, to keep you going. It’s like telling your body to burn fat stores, the extra stuff it doesn’t need right now. So, when you’re not eating during the fasting period, your body becomes more efficient at using its own resources. This awesome metabolic switch can lead to benefits like weight loss and better overall well-being and improved health conditions.
7 Incredible Intermittent Fasting Weight Loss Dessert Recipes
Alright, let’s get to it: 7 healthy intermittent fasting ketogenic diet weight loss friendly dessert recipes. READY! SET! GO!
Mason Jar Protein Ice Cream Dessert
This intermittent fasting dessert recipe is nothing short of amazing. It’s low-sugar, low-carb, and packed with high-quality protein. And honestly, this sweet treat tastes just as good, if not better, than regular ice cream. My husband LOVES this healthy dessert so much that I make it for the two of us almost weekly.
Feel free to use whatever flavor of protein powder you want to make this keto diet friendly mason jar protein ice cream. I love using QUEST lean protein powder because it’s healthy (no artificial sweeteners and 26 g protein per serving), delicious and extremely easy to cook and bake with. My favorite flavors to use are SALTED CARAMEL, CHOCOLATE and especially CINNAMON CRUNCH. YUM CITY! Additionally, low-carb sweeteners that work well include Swerve, Monk Fruit and Stevia.
Keep in mind that the best way to enjoy this ice cream is after you’ve let it rest for a few minutes after pulling it from the freezer, on the same day that you make it. Watch exactly how to make this awesome recipe RIGHT HERE!
Peanut Butter Coco-Chip Protein Yogurt
I started making this dessert when I began my weight loss journey in January of 2021. This healthy and delicious dessert absolutely helped me lose 46 pounds in 4 months.
I have been enjoying this dessert for almost three years now. As you can see from the photo above, I often top my protein yogurt dessert with fresh berries, LILY’S BAKING CHIPS or a few regular chocolate chips and some delicious KETO NUT GRANOLA (Blueberry Cinnamon). Additionally, flax seeds and chia seeds make great additions to this dessert, as well.
I almost always use Two Good Greek Yogurt when I make this recipe. Two Good Greek Yogurt is the perfect intermittent fasting food. I love it because it has many delicious flavors. Additionally, it’s low-carb, packed with 12 grams of protein and only 2 grams of sugar per container. WooHoo!

Butterscotch Pumpkin Cream Muffins
Whether it’s spring, summer, winter, or fall, I love ALL THINGS PUMPKIN! Pumpkin is a true superfood when it comes to your health and maintaing your weight. It’s full of awesome things that your body loves, like vitamins and fiber. It’s pretty low in calories and since pumpkin is a good source of fiber, it can help curb your appetite, too.
Feel free to substitute coconut flour for the almond flour in this recipe if you wish. Additionally, you can use an alternative low-carb sweetener of your choice. Just be sure to choose one that won’t spike your blood sugar levels. Or simply leave the sweetener out, since the pumpkin itself does a pretty good job of flavoring these muffins with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy!
Muscle Mug Cake Dessert
This recipe is one of my absolute favorite keto desserts. Depending on the protein powder that you choose to use in this recipe, your muscle mug cake can literally be any yummy flavor that you want. Quest protein powder is always a good option. I like to use Quest’s PEANUT BUTTER, SALTED CARAMEL and CHOCOLATE whey protein powder flavors.
If you are in the mood for some extra chocolate flavoring, cocoa powder or cacao powder are always great additions. And since Cacao is a healthier alternative, I often stick to adding Cacao Powder to my mug cake. You can find my very favorite brand of Cacao Powder, Better Body Foods Organic Cacao Powder RIGHT HERE.
I also love to top mine with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (one of the 4 best spices for weight loss) YUM!

Blackberry Vanilla Belly-Blasting Smoothie
This awesome protein powder smoothie recipe not only tastes amazing, but the blackberries help blast some serious belly fat too. This dessert smoothie is refreshing and quenches your thirst while satisfying your sweet tooth in such a healthy way. The coconut oil in this protein drink is an excellent way to get a nutritious dose of healthy fats.
I love having a smoothie for dessert. It’s just so incredibly satisfying. And, this is the perfect smoothie to satisfy your sweet tooth. I love the taste of the coconut milk and vanilla paired with the blackberries in this weight loss smoothie. It’s definitely a winning combo.
I use the vanilla protein powder from Quest in this recipe.
This smoothie dessert can also easily be transformed into a delicious smoothie bowl topped with fiber-rich chia seeds, hemp seeds and/or healthy granola.
Spicy Fat-Burning Hot Cocoa
Swap out your black coffee for this spicy fat-burning Cocoa once in awhile. This mug of magic is the perfect way to close out your intermittent fasting eating window for the night. It’s packed with healthy fats (coconut oil) to keep you satisfied for longer as you move into your fasting period.
