brown sugar replacement that is now available.
Fruit & Cream:
Add a little milk or vanilla protein powder and a few strawberries or blueberries to oatmeal or mix in a teaspoon of sugar free preserves.
Maple Walnut:
Add 1 tbsp sugar-free pancake syrup and a few chopped walnuts.
French Vanilla:
Add 1 tsp vanilla, a splash of low-fat milk, and a packet of Splenda.
Cinnamon Raisin:
Try using a few dashes of cinnamon, a splash of sugar-free maple syrup and a teaspoon of raisins instead of flavored packets.
Protein Boost:
Stir in 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder.
Butter Pecan:
Add a splash of imitation butter flavor, teaspoon of butter substitute or a few dashes of Butter Buds and a teaspoon of chopped pecans.
