If a healthy diet is an important part of your lifestyle, but you still have a [sweet tooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whims), these healthy treats will be exactly your taste. Trend Hunter's Jaime Neely discusses her favorite examples of indulgent superfood from caffeine hybrid drinks to nutty jam pizzas and divine antioxidant desserts.

A healthier alternative to a regular cup of java is the coffee leaf tea. Or if you are looking for a sweet garnish for your hot beverage, these marshmallow-mimicking matcha green tea cubes have considerably less sugar. Dark chocolate-drizzled pomegranates are healthy treats you can pick over other [crunchy clusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purdys-chocolatier-1). For a sweeter take on savory pizza, this fruity version includes toppings like [peanut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-better-cups), blueberry jam, almonds and fresh blueberries.
