Ever since I was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes at the age of 5 my life has been mostly about using sugar substitutes in the snacks and smoothies I prepare without gaining any weird after tastes or harmful ingredients. It’s already been 25 years since my diagnosis and I’m glad to have recently come across Born Sweet™ Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener, a sugar substitute with only real ingredients from the stevia plant, nothing artificial. Check out how I’ve been using it on my trip to Madrid, Spain and the recipe to my favorite smoothie that even my hubby loves!
One of my favorite things when I travel is to try different coffee and tea shops. I had the most wonderful cup in Madrid, Spain (and went back to the same spot twice which is why I’ll show show it to you in a future post from my Madrid trip). One packet of Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener gave my mocha the finishing sweet touch without any after taste. (earrings c/o Think Elysian Boutique)
Another recurring theme on my Madrid trip has been pears. Pears in Madrid are smaller than the ones in Houston and are the perfect size for snacking. Just a sprinkle of Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener is enough to make these succulent bites of fruit taste sweeter.
And When I’m Back Home In Houston…
This is the smoothie recipe that got it’s name when my hubby tried it and coined that it tasted like a cupcake! But, this is the healthiest, low sugar concoction that makes for a yummy & filling on-the-go breakfast. Please try it and let me know how you like it.
