You know by now that sugar has a way of sneaking into some of the most unsuspecting foods, making something we might consider ‘healthy’ and ‘harmless’ actually better to avoid altogether!
Today we’re going to talk about a few swaps you can make to cut the sugar but still get some yummy meals in:
Peanut butter or jelly on toast - Swap with avocado toast on sprouted bread! Upgrade it with lemon or lime juice and red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, or a poached or fried egg for extra protein.
Milk and cereal - Find unsweetened nut milk and ditch the sugary cereal. Instead, opt for overnight oats! Just add one part oats to two parts nut milk, stir, and stick it in the fridge overnight! Add berries, nuts, nut butter, cinnamon, or fruits for a little natural sweetness.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese - Most tomato products are chock-full of sugar, soup included! Ditch the tomato soup for lentil or black bean soup, then replace the grilled cheese with a lettuce wrap - remember, bread has more sugar than you might think.
Today, your challenge is to share one of your favorite secretly sugary meals (or foods) with the group, then offer a replacement recipe or a simple swap you will make.
