Sugar substitute

[CheapPinz]

Sugar is my weakness. I love the granular feel of it when I chew, and I love the sweet taste on my food. I've discovered recently why I love Pizza Hut breadsticks: Its because their marinara sauce has sugar in it. I ordered some last week and the sauce was bitter, so I added a pinch of sugar and it was back to its yummy self.
I know Atkins recommends a healthy sugar substitute and I have spenda on hand, but nothing tastes as good as the real thing, so I'm more opt to skip the sugar all together instead of substituting it. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
With the holidays coming, cheesecake is going to be on the menu..good thing with this one is any sugar substitute can be used and it tastes just as great, and will be a low carb, low sugar item if done right. I'm going to modify my recipes so I'll post back later.

bro this isn't the best thing in the world, but it works.. im carb cycling for 2-3 weeks and then going back on keto. this kept my sugar cravings at bay

1 pack jello sugar free pudding
2 cups Almond Breeze (ever since ive done paleo I cut out cow's milk because of the sugar content and get the unsweetened variety of Almond Breeze)
2 scoops whey protein

As for flavors, Cinnamon protein and banana pudding tastes like banana fosters. Cheesecake pudding and chocolate taste good as well.. My favorite however is chocolate pudding with strawberry cream protein from Needtobuildmuscle.

Allow it to set in the fridge OR you can put it in the freezer for a bit and have a frozen treat.. Either way, you can play with the flavor combinations and enjoy something that is high protein, has minimal fat and no sugar.

good ideas...I love sugar. flavor is something that is missing once the diet gets strict..

Stevia is a good alternative to sugar

when I'm hungry, I taste sugar in nearly everything. romaine lettuce near the thick white portion tastes sweet to me, and some other healthy foods seem to give me a little treat. wish sugar was good for you!
