Did you know that there are some amazing natural ingredients that can help you sweeten your food without having to add sugar or anything artificial? Here are our favorite options.
Fruit
The simplest way to make a dish sweeter is to add ripe fruit like bananas, pears, and pineapple. Such fruits are also rich in fiber which helps slow the sugar absorption in your body and you process them easier than added sugar, even if it’s something natural like honey.
Spices
You can flavor your coffee or dessert using cinnamon, vanilla, or nutmeg whenever you want a subtle sweet taste. It’s best to use plain spices because some brands add sugar to vanilla extract or cinnamon powder.
Nuts and Seeds
While they don’t necessarily taste sweet, nuts and seeds can help a lot when you want to enhance the flavor of foods without adding sugar. Think of unsweetened peanut butter and how it can add some sweetness to sauces, smoothies, and cakes.
