Sticking to typical New Years resolutions canbe tricky… The intent is there but often the will power isn’t. I have a sweet tooth whichgetsme into trouble. A little sugar in my coffee, a little more in my cookies, and before you know it I’ve gone foretell overboard on my sugar intake and thinking if ways I can cut back the next day, but it’s always the same story.
Thankfully cutting back on sugar without sacrificing taste is what Splenda is all about. I was introduced to Splenda a few years ago and have used it for a number of things, including coffee, tea, and baking. Did you know the recommended daily intake of sugar is only 6 teaspoons but the average American eats 22 teaspoons of sugar daily!? Sugar is in just about every food you eat, especially processed foods and fruit juices. You can find 365 ways to swap sugar for Splenda products by visiting 365 Sweet Swaps. They offer recipes to help reduce caloric intake and tips on where you can swap sugar for Splenda.
Personally, I have swapped sugar for Splenda in my morning and afternoon lattes. By using my Nescafé Dolce gusto machine, I can make coffee-house worthy lattes with a fraction of the calories! Splenda us twice as sweet as sugar, so keep this in mind when making the swap!
