Plant-Based Treats
DessertsRx Disrupts The Sweets Industry.

After sliding a spoon through one of DessertsRx’s organic noCheeseCake Jars, guests will see its silky texture and bright flavors replicate the iconic treat. However, all the Colleyville sweet shop’s products are gluten, dairy and refined sugar free on top of being organic and free of GMOs. With delicious desserts made with healthy ingredients, DessertsRx is changing the game when it comes to sweets.
Longtime Colleyville resident Dorothy Warda opened DessertsRx’s first location in November with her husband, Simon, and two teenagers, Alex and Nina, after evaluating their own dietary habits. A few years back, Nina started experiencing an array of scary symptoms. After Dorothy spent months taking her daughter from doctor to doctor without any diagnosis, she took Nina’s health into her own hands.
“I was completely terrified,” Dorothy says. “I couldn't find an answer. So I tried to change her diet, and all of a sudden, her symptoms were gone.”
After seeing that dramatic change, the entire Warda family switched their ways. By eliminating sugar and GMOs while also following a plant-based diet, the family felt like they were replenishing their bodies while also keeping them healthy. But Dorothy wanted to do more. She left her job in real estate and started studying food at schools like The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
“I was just thinking people are living in their houses, but first and foremost, they are living in their bodies,” Dorothy says.
After taking in so much information, she encouraged her entire family to join her coursework, which now means that all four Wardas are nutrition coaches and plant-based chefs. They then worked together to build out their desserts for DessertsRx.
By using superfoods, vegetables and creamy bases like cashew and coconut, DessertsRx treats provide plenty of flavor while satisfying those sweet cravings. The organic coconut cream jar, which comes in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, is made with monk fruit and organic agave, resulting in a sweet and velvety treat that’s easy for kids and adults alike to enjoy. The noCheeseCake comes in eight flavors, from caffe latte to orange vanilla, and is packed with protein and essential vitamins.
Some of their treats, like their dessert spheres, also have vegetables hidden inside that don’t impact the flavor but add a healthy boost — like the green tea matcha moringa sphere made with spinach.
You don’t need a dietary restriction to enjoy these appetizing yet healthy desserts. And thanks to their new location on 620 Main St. opening soon and plans to expand throughout the Metroplex, it’ll be even easier to opt in for a good-for-you sweet.
