In our household, our #1 focus is balancing blood sugars. Your blood sugars impact cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers, kidney disease, eye disease, neuropathy, hearing impairment, skin infections, etc.
I’m always looking for ways to have healthy sweet treats that still taste amazing, so I’m super excited to discover some baking mixes that don’t spike the blood sugar. (Imagine pancakes with 11gr of protein and only 2gr of sugar. Brownies with zero sugar. Muffins with 5gr of protein and 2 gr of sugar.) How?
They are sweetened with ALLULOSE. You may not have heard of Allulose like you heard about stevia or monk fruit, so here are the details:
- It tastes like sugar but without the calories. It’s a rare sugar that occurs naturally in small amounts in foods like figs, raisins, and maple syrup.
- It doesn’t spike your blood sugar or insulin.
- It is DIABETIC FRIENDLY. This is HUGE for anyone (like me) managing insulin resistance, PCOS or just trying to stabilize energy and hunger.
- It is absorbed by the body but NOT metabolized, so it passes through without impacting glucose levels!
- It doesn’t feed bad gut bacteria. Unlike some other sweeteners, like Maltitol, it doesn’t ferment in the gut, which means less bloating, gas and sugar cravings.
- It supports gut health by protecting the gut lining and reduces inflammation—unlike some sugar substitutes that can wreak havoc on your digestion.
- It tastes legit! There is NO WEIRD AFTERTASTE. It just tastes like real sugar because it basically is real sugar.
- Sweetness without the carb count and great for baking.
For those of you who count your macros, follow KETO or trying to reset your hormones, this Allulose doesn’t count towards net carbs.
