Sweet Temptations

Go ahead—indulge!

You deserve a little sweetness in your life and you can have it—as long as you indulge in moderation.

  • Brown Rice Syrup – A liquid sweetener with the consistency of honey.

  • Xylitol - the Wedge/Lakewinds carry it, but not in bulk, so it is expensive. I ordered in bulk online at: http://www.xlear.com/xylosweet  once I knew I would be using it in my baking and it is a lot cheaper.  It looks like sugar, has 40% fewer calories and is insulin independent.  Great for diabetics and you don’t crave it like sugar.  Use in your recipes or add to tomato sauce for a sugar free catsup.

  • Blue Agave Syrup - (Trader Joe’s/ Lakewinds) Tastes like “mellow honey”. Low Glycemic!

  • Grainaissance - Mochi Bake and Serve Rice Squares (Lakewinds Co-op or check out online at: http://www.grainaissance.com/mochi.html) Puff pastry, hot-gooey inside, crispy outside, drizzle with Agave and cinnamon…..yummy!

  • Organic maple syrup – Make sure you get the real stuff (most supermarket maple syrup is filled with high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors – yuck!).

  • Tupelo Honey – A wonderful antimicrobial agent and antioxidant, this honey has the lowest percentage of dextrose, so even some diabetics can use it (check with your doctor to be sure).

  • Stevia liquid: easy to use by the drop. http://steviasmart.stores.yahoo.net/stevstevliq.html

  • Lime-Aid: Stevia sweetened, natural http://www.steviasmart.stores.yahoo.net/stfrlidmix2.html

  • Sunspire chocolate – They have chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and chocolate candies.

  • Green & Black’s organic chocolate – Choose dark chocolate for the richest source of antioxidants. Just don’t eat the whole bar in one sitting!

  • Xocai dark chocolate nuggets – The ultimate antioxidant treat – made with dark chocolate, blueberries and acai.
