A friend asked me, “what does your mom eat for a treat?!” That is an understandable quandary when sugar is totally out, but there still are some great Green “sweets”:
1. Fresh Fruit. I had to put this first because really, is there anything better? Once you have eliminated sugar completely, your desire and craving for it will diminish greatly- it is addicting. Also, your taste buds will become sensitized again to the natural sugars in fruit.
2. Smoothies! Cool, refreshing and packed with nutrients, a fresh smoothie will satisfy any sweet tooth.
3. Raw Local Organic Honey- Full of antioxidants and enzymes, this sweet nectar is pretty much delicious drizzled over anything. Sesame seeds are high in calcium, so when I want a calcium boost and a treat, I cover a spoon in honey, than roll it all around in raw sesame seeds and than enjoy licking it all off. Great for growing children!
4.Green Desserts. Sometimes you just want something that feels like it’s dessert. There are lots of creative ways to make a dessert Green. For example, try these unbelievable Raw Chocolate Macaroons.
