Ask Juls – What Are Some Natural Options To Sugar?

Just this weekend one of my good friends asked me what the best way to cut sugar out was. Honestly, I think the best way is to just swap out your granulated sugar! Try to choose natural, whole sugars – such as fruits, sweet veggies (like sweet potatoes or bell peppers!) or using naturally occurring sugars like maple syrup and honey. Check out this weeks video!

 

Honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup and foods like these ARE sugar. They aren’t sugar substitutes, they’re not fake sugar… they’re naturally occurring sugars! Sugar can be ok in our diets as long as we’re getting them from naturally occurring sources.

Unfortunately, sugar is in EVERYTHING! And it goes by SO many different names. Check out this great infographic for the names sugar can go by and make sure to check your ingredient labels:
