If you want to eat healthily, the best way to start is by cutting refined sugar from your diet. It means that you will remove brown and white cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup. This can be replaced with small amounts of unrefined sweeteners from natural sources such as dates and honey. Here are some ideas.
No-Bake Granola Bars
When you buy granola bars from the store, they always come with refined sugar and preservatives. Skip all the sugar and make them at home. You can sweeten them with dates and honey. They contain over 5g of protein per bar.
No-Cook Dark Chocolate Pudding
Chocolate pudding has a rich taste. However, the store-bought variant has too much sugar. You can make your own dark chocolate pudding that contains merely 200 calories per 1-cup serving.
Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes
This snack is lightly sweetened with maple syrup. The pumpkin spice protein pancakes are ideal for people who want to taste sweet flavors without consuming a lot of sugar. When you use chickpea flour instead of the normal variety, it gives a higher proportion of protein and fiber as well as no gluten at all.
Sweet Potato Chocolate Frosting
To create this low sugar recipe, you need just two ingredients, chocolate chips and pureed sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are a replacement for sugar and butter in the recipe. The result is a rich frosting that is delicious.
