Health Blogger-Approved Recipes to Keep You Fit Over Spring Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at NYU chapter.

Spring break is quickly approaching and so is bikini #szn.

I teamed up with my health blogger/national champion lightweight rower @alexlivinghealthy to share her favorite healthy eats and treats that keep her in top shape. Plus, both of us are chocolate connoisseurs and major supporters of the “treat yourself” movement.

Each of these gorgeous desserts look 5 star but are simple enough for any college student to enjoy in their dorm rooms. Spring break bodies, here we come.
