Healthier Sugar Alternatives

By Melissa Landry

I'll be the first person to say that my addiction to sugar is nearly as prominent as anyone else's. I place myself on a strict allowance in which a couple of times during the course of the week, I allow myself to indulge.

With the exception of my sugar habit, I generally keep quite food conscious. This does not slow down my liking for sweet foods from going away though, & thus, I often notice myself searching for different methods to add a sweet taste to my snack or drink.

Here are a couple simple substitutes which you might be interested in having in place of sugar. Hopefully they'll help to satisfy your fix as you keep the calories lowyou limit your calories.

The first substitute that I'll mention is one food that you'll often encounter in foods, and we'll usually enjoy its sweetness. Honey is fully natural, & keeps everything organic should you choose to use this means as your alternative to sugar.

Whether you're adding it to foods or into beverages (i.e. tea), the natural ingredients of it should provide you with a natural method of sweetening your meals and drinks.

An additional manner you may pursue is via the utilization of fruit extracts. For a long time, I have been enjoying regular water whereas adding a couple fruits to the water while I drink it.

This has less calories than juice and it's wholly refreshing, but it is subtly sweet. Once you get into the habit of this, I could truly tell you that you will most likely realize yourself not needing to return to sugar whatsoever.

It is delicious & it is healthy, and there's not much which bests the 2 when combined along with one another

Lastly, a replacement alternative has made its way into the world, & seems to be making an impression on a handful medical and weight conscious folks.

The all new Truvia sweetener is finding its place within the nutrition sphere, and it's extracted from the organic stevia plant, making this an organic substitute compared to different processed sugar substitutes. - 31875
