SWEETLEAF® LIQUID STEVIA SWEET DROPS Archives -

Many people list the Fourth of July as one of their favorite holidays, not only because it’s an American holiday that commemorates the day the United States came into existence, but also because it usually includes grilling and eating wonderful foods in the great outdoors. Quarantine makes us to be at home a lot, a family style barbecue feast doesn’t need to be only in Fourth of July. It can be literally for every weekend. But during our joyful family barbecue time, it’s easy to consume more food … and more calories … than intended.

To help reduce some of the sugar and calories in your barbecue feast, and all your other family dining, SweetLeaf offers a delicious Broccoli Slaw as a side dish that everyone will love and that will be a part of meals all year long.

Summer officially said goodbye to us. Now we are at the season ready for the cold weather. This year goes so fast and all of us know the reason. We have been quarantined for too long. I believe you are like me, the most fun thing at home is to cook! Cooking at home sounds healthy, but if you are a sweet tooth, all the sugar will bring so much “sweet weight” on you. Glad it’s never too late to start your new journey with natural sweeteners.

Recent years have marked a major shift in attitudes toward added sugars and how they impact the health of Americans. The American Heart Association recommends a daily added sugar intake of no more than 36 grams/9 teaspoons/150 calories for men and 25 grams/6 teaspoons/100 calories for women and children (ages 2-19). Added sugars are those which are not naturally occurring. Examples of natural sugars include those found in fruits, vegetables, and milk.

SweetLeaf^® Stevia Sweetener is a delicious, no-sugar, zero-calorie alternative which can help you stay within the recommended guidelines for daily added or hidden sugars. Reduce or eliminate sugars by adding SweetLeaf^® as a delicious replacement. With no artificial sweeteners, no sugars, no carbohydrates, and a non-glycemic response, SweetLeaf^® adds tasty sweetness to everything from hot and cold beverages to foods and recipes.
