Plain yogurt with fruit, nuts, and/or granola is a surprisingly delicious sugar-free way to start your day.

  • annefood Hey @Philippa ! Good question. While nutella does contain nuts, unfortunately the first ingredient is sugar. If you have a tiny taste, count it as 1/2 free pass in your Avoid Sweets Challenge. If...
  • Philippa Ha I figured. The worst. Avoiding it.
  • annefood @Philippa yeah unfortunately nutella is not the best when it comes to nutrition. If you're craving a spoonful of something, try a spoonful of peanut butter. Not the same chocolatey sweetness, but...

  • annefood You're welcome @Sim ! Making your own sauce is the definitely the best way to ensure good ingredients. Plus it's easy to freeze and have on hand. But when you are short of time and don't have any...

  • Emy hi. I'm not an expert, but my grandpa used to say, that honey is good for everything!
    Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :)
  • bestekaracay Thank you and to your grandpa! I will use just a little bit :)
