Okay so we've all heard. Sugar is bad for you. But not all sugars are bad for you. We've heard of good fats & bad fats, good carbs & bad carbs. Well, its the same for sugar! The good sugars that your body needs are found in fruits and vegetables, but they are also packed with fiber, antioxidants, water, vitamins & minerals. Bad sugar, is found in things like candy, pop, baked goods, etc.
If you're watching sugar intake, please don't refuse fruits and vegetables ! Cut back on your intake of processed foods, adding sugar to your food, and sweets. Also, do your research, check your labels.
Speaking of sugar ..
If your anything like me, sugar is a big part of your life. Here of some amazing idea's for snacks, if your craving something sweet :)
1) Slice up some banana's, sprinkle them with cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of organic, natural peanut butter.
This is one of my absolute favourite, go-to desserts. I have this maybe twice a week and it hits the spot like you wouldn't believe - give it a try :) You could use apple instead of banana, as well.
2) Make a shake! - A chocolate one!
MMMMM .. Nothing a little chocolate can't fix right? Some almond milk, half a banana, unsweetened cocoa and that chocolate craving is out the window.
3) Yogurt Parfait
Go nuts with the blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, yum!
