I keep a stash of Truvia packets. If I have a coffee, I want to use healthy sugar.
I put hibiscus flower in every cup of tea I have. It's sweet, sexy, and cleansing.
So on one hand, honey is an amazingly sophisticated and efficient food source. On the other hand, it's bee backwash.
I've been into the habit of freezing white grapes and using them as a snack. Instead of eating peanuts or popcorn or something like that or pretzels, I just eat the white grapes.
My favorite power food is Greek yogurt and honey.
Home-made smoothies are a great way of satisfying a sweet tooth. Adding in things like frozen banana will make it taste super sweet and creamy.
I love candy, but when I'm cooking, I will use Splenda Naturals to try and cut back on sugar.
I've been eating honey since I was young. I've been putting it on everything. I put it on fried chicken, put it on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I put it on my cereal. What else do I put honey on? I put honey on my face. Man, honey is the essential item to life.
Bananas are the base of all my smoothies! They are packed with potassium and give a solid base flavor.
I drink maple syrup. Then I'm hyper so I just run around like crazy and work it all off.
Date syrup is a natural sweetener that has wonderful richness and treacly depth; I drizzle it over semolina porridge.
Manuka honey is magic.
Dates are great because they're a high-energy fruit with a lot of fiber.
Barley malt has a really deep, rich taste. A lot of manufacturers have switched over to corn syrup over the years because it's a cheaper sweetener, but it doesn't have the flavor.
Nothing is better for the human being than to add the right amount of honey to his food.
Agave nectar is a good substitute for refined sugars. It has a relatively low glycaemic index, which means it doesn't cause quick rises in blood sugar levels. It also has a nice, mild flavour.
I start off my morning with an Acai berry smoothie. I blend the Acai berries with kefir, blueberries, protein powder and peanut butter. I like this first thing in the morning because it's light on my stomach.
Pomegranate juice has staying power. It's not a fad. Once people have tasted POM Wonderful, they say they are addicted - and it's a good addiction to have.
If I feel like I need comfort food, I'll have a bowl of porridge with honey, and instead of a sweet sugar fix, I'll eat a probiotic yogurt.
I use Stevia instead of sweetener. I add it to coffee or tea instead of sugar - you can even cook with it. The vanilla flavor is to die for!
For breakfast, I make an amazing protein shake with fruit, Greek yogurt, protein powder, flaxseed oil and honey. It's a nice way to get a healthy start and a little bit of sweetness, too.
I love nuts. A handful of almonds, cashews, or walnuts will get me through a couple of hours.
