Does dried pasta have added sugar?
I was wondering if dried pasta such as penne or spaghetti had added sugar or other artificial ingredients?
So friends, do you know any good healthy meals to feed two people in the morning ?

JenniferEmilson Some health food stores do carry sour dried cranberries. In other words, no sugar added. When you find them, stock up!! 👌🏻

annefood Good to know @JenniferEmilson ! I've never seen them entirely unsweetened in all of my health food store travels.
Bananas probably are a super food ,you can make ice cream,and today I made banana pancakes with no added sugar,what else can bananas do ?

annefood Totally @Lazy_Nash ! I like freezing slices and dipping them in 100% chocolate with some toasted nuts on top too. And banana bread without sweetener—so good.
