How To Use Sugar Substitutes In This Recipe (& Any Recipe) To Make It Healthier WITHOUT Sacrificing Flavor
Like I said, this breakfast rice pudding is not nearly as sweet as a dessert rice pudding.
That’s because of the decreased amount of sugar in it… and this tasty recipe actually gets a lot of its sweetness and flavor from the cinnamon, not from sugar!
But some of us just love a little more sweet in our lives… and there are ways to use substitutes and avoid sugar completely, while still getting the sweetness you love.
However, I have to caution you… a lot of sugar substitutes on the market right now are actually not very good for you. Actually, some are straight-up dangerous.
Sure, they might be “low calorie”… and they might make big promises on the packaging… but some of them are downright harmful!
In fact, one really popular sugar substitute is much WORSE than sugar—it’s been associated with headaches… dizziness… seizures… and even cancer!
So, it’s super important to make sure you are using a safe, healthy sugar substitute.
To make sure I’m using the healthiest sugar substitutes in my cooking… I actually consulted a medical doctor who is really familiar with all of the latest research on this topic.
He was kind enough to put together a guide to the best sugar substitutes out there… plus the worst, so you know which ones to avoid!
