When we think of summer, we often think of barbecues with steaks, hotdogs, and hamburgers.
But what about summer sweets? This season is also a popular time for people to enjoy ice cream and other sugary treats. They often find their way into the outdoor celebrations people enjoy this time of year, and they’re popular family treats to have when the kids or grandkids are home from school and everyone is together.
Of course, there’s no better way to celebrate than the healthy way. Reducing your sugar intake is easy when you consider popular sugar substitutes, as well as sugar-free versions of your favorite treats if they’re available.
If you must have some summer desserts either because the taste is alluring or the occasion calls for it, try making these sugar-free options. If you want more traditional treats for summer, sugar included, try to space them out. Plan ahead and know when your sugar window will be open, and then compensate by avoiding sugar before and after this time.
This way you can enjoy ice cream after the cookout, funnel cake at the fair, and all the summer sweets sparingly. Or, if you really want to reduce your sugar intake, you can abstain entirely and discuss our sugar-free alternatives with your loved ones.
Who knows? You may be the gateway to better health for your whole family this summer, and that’s the sweetest treat anyone could ask for.
