REDUCING PROCESSED SUGAR DEPENDENCY
Miracle fruit is a practical tool to gradually reduce sugar dependency.
​
Many people try to reduce their intake of 'discretionary foods' (foods which don't play a role in healthy eating). Most of these foods and drinks are high in processed sugar, which is not healthy.
​
Try Miracle fruit as a sweetener instead;
​
-
Then add lemon juice to a glass of water, the taste will be very sweet. A healthier choice compared to a 600ml soft drink, containing around 13 teaspoons of sugar.
​
-
Make unsweetened yoghurt taste sweet. One serving of unsweetened yoghurt has 2g of sugar compared to sweetened yoghurt with 12g.
​
-
Try a Miracle fruit and the eat some strawberries the taste is amazingly sweet, instead of 30g of processed sugar in a chocolate bar.
​
-
Have a fruit smorgasbord with Miracle fruit.
