Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - Sweet Treats for the Sugar-Free Family |
I've noticed a number of ladies posting about going sugar-free.We have
been refined sugar-free since last February (and off and on before
that), so I thought I'd list a few of our favorite treats for the sweet
tooth. We enjoy:
- Freshly-squeezed orange juice (this is a treat for us, since we don't drink much juice)
- Fruit/pumpkin pies (Rapadura)
- Honey ice cream (we like ours with a little bit of coconut milk or cream too)
- Honey sticks
- Larabars and Thinkorganic! bars (date-sweetened)
- Date rolls (I find mine at Trader Joe's, but I've seen them in
many other health-food stores. They are just pureed dates formed into
cylinder shapes, then rolled in coconut or nuts. To the taste buds not
used to refined sugar, they taste just like candy! )
- Toast with lots of butter and honey (don't forget about this one!)
- Fruit leather
- Pancakes and french toast are great sweet treats (we use honey or real maple syrup on ours)
- Real whipped cream (honey) goes great on the pumpkin pie
- Smoothies are also good without any sugar or maybe just a little
bit of honey, although we haven't been drinking them much lately
We have found that many people seem to think that our children are
deprived, depressed little people since we don't give them sugar. But
to our kids, these kinds of treats are just normal. They love them!

| For the ideas! I have been slowly taking the sugar out of our family... I am glad my kids really are not that big on it anyway, they had a lot of HIDDEN sugar things though I noticed.... my kids love fruit and veggies so I am blessed with that! |

All these good yummy sweet treats.
I love my dates rolled in just oat flour, but I bet they are very good in the coconut. I will be on the look out for that one. |
