Ovio’s New Healthy Desserts Menu is Deliciously ‘Guilt-Free’

This is your resident diabetic SceneEats correspondent reporting live from our headquarters in Downtown Cairo, where I just stumbled upon Ovio's brand new 'Guilt-Free Pastry Menu.'

Now, I don't know about you, but this is big news to me. While I wouldn’t necessarily say I have a raging sweet tooth, I do enjoy a bite or two of saccharine goodness every now and then, much to the dismay of my blood sugar levels. So if you're on a similar boat - or just try to be mindful of your sugar and caloric intake - you'll want to keep reading.

Offering a series of freshly crafted sweet concoctions that are low in calories and high on health-consciousness, here’s everything on Ovio's latest guilt, gluten, lactose, saturated fat, and egg yolk-free menu, broken down. Now excuse me, I have an Uber to catch and a 'Raspberry Symphony' to acquaint myself with.

Oh and, if you’d rather an icy healthy beverage, a little birdie recommends the Matcha Coconut Milk..

Chocolate Madeleines

Calories: 212

Ovio’s new chocolate madeleines strike a perfect balance between unsweetened dark chocolate and unprocessed hazelnut paste.

All the joy of a proper slice of tiramisu with none of the ‘guilt’, the tiramisu delight on Ovio’s new menu is naturally sweetened with honey.

A taste of paradise indeed, this little edible fella is made of mango pineapple mousse on coconut cake, filled with fruit, glazed with mango puree, and topped with passion fruit seeds.

Like taking a bite out of a mango flavored cloud, Ovio’s mango yogurt is simply that, a Greek yogurt mousse topped with mango and berries.
