15 Best Costco Desserts for Weight Loss

Satisfy your sweet tooth with these weight-loss-friendly desserts from Costco.
FACT CHECKED BY Alexa Mellardo

Desserts are notorious for packing loads of sugar and fat, and they can sometimes have just as many calories as your entire entrée! If you are trying to lose weight, you may think desserts are off-limits. However, there are ways to end your meal with a sweet treat while still shedding some pounds. You may want to skip the triple chocolate cake a la mode at your favorite restaurant, but there are plenty of reasonable treats at Costco to satisfy your sweet tooth at home. We've rounded up 15 of the best Costco desserts for weight loss to add to your shopping list pronto.

There are endless dessert options out there, but the common theme is sweetness. When choosing a dessert that allows you to work toward your weight-loss goals, look for options with natural sweetness and minimal added sugar. Fruit is a great example of this. The natural sugars in fruit allow it to be sweet without added sugar, and the fiber found in fruit allows it to provide added health benefits. A more nutritious dessert option contains fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Although you may not get all three of these components while watching added sugar, look for options that provide more than just carbohydrates. Lastly, pre-portioned options are great for keeping your calorie intake minimal and limiting your likelihood of overeating dessert.

To assist your weight-loss goals, here are the 15 best Costco desserts for weight loss.

La Dolce Vita Classic Almond Biscotti

Although sugar is the second ingredient in La Dolce Vita Classic Almond Biscotti, a single biscotti contains only around 4 grams of added sugar and is only 85 calories. Almonds provide some healthy fats and protein in this treat, making it a good option when you keep your portion to a single serving or less.
