Listed here are the 5 BEST "ALL NATURAL AND HEALTHY" Sweeteners to use in drinks, juicing, or in cooking recipes.
1. Raw Honey ->>Honey in its NATURAL FORM that has NOT been cooked or processed. There are several different flavors of honey. Experiment with different flavors depending on the recipe you are making.
2. Agave ->>Agave usually comes in a syrup. It’s an excellent sugar substitute and works in raw and cooked foods.
3. Grape and Orange Juice ->>You can juice your own grapes and get a very potent sweetener. If you buy grape juice, make sure it’s not already supplemented with sugar or fructose. Orange juice is slightly less sweet and has a bit more of a specific taste, but does well in many bread and soup recipes.
4. Stevia ->>Stevia is the best natural sweetener for someone with diabetes or for someone who is sensitive to blood sugar ups and downs. The stevia plant has long been used for its medicinal purposes in South America. You can buy a pure stevia liquid in dropper form. Be careful of stevia products as they are often supplemented with lactose or other sweeteners. It can take up to a month to get used to the unique taste of stevia but once you do, you’ll hardly know the difference.
5. Yams and Bananas ->>Cooked yams and bananas are very sweet. You can puree either into a vegetable soup to add some sweetness. Pureed yams can also naturally sweeten bread recipes and very ripe bananas can be used in a bread where you don’t mind some banana taste. Yams are a bit more mild so might work better with other recipes...
