As a functional medicine practitioner, I see how difficult it can be to cut out sugar. Even the suggestion can lead to hostility and defense. This tight grip people have on sugar has led me to believe that it would be easier to ask someone to change their religion 😆. Therefore, I don't believe in restriction. Not only does that lead to an unhealthy relationship with food, it's not sustainable. After all, it's ok to enjoy a treat every now and then. But instead of reaching for conventional, processed treats at the store, I like to make my own healthier sweets at home. These are my go-tos when I need to curb my sweet tooth: + Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding: Cocoa powder, vanilla, nut milk, chia seeds, and sweetener of choice + Peanut Butter Delight: All-natural peanut or almond butter and jelly wrapped in a toasted cassava flour tortilla + Popsicles: Choose from an endless combo of fruit juices, fresh fruit, herbs, and more for a refreshing treat But my busy days at my telehealth functional medicine clinic don't give me much time to whip anything up. That's why I love @dalciyourself Brownies and Blondies. They come in four prepackaged, delicious flavors - dark chocolate, almond butter dark chocolate, apple spice, and lemon coconut - so you can satisfy your sweet tooth without having to spend hours in the kitchen! By sticking to real, gut-friendly ingredients like coconut sugar, avocado oil, and dark chocolate, dalci has managed to bake a moist and gooey brownie that won't undo your clean eating regimen. P.S.
