emwei3 9 Posted March 25, 2015 That sounds like a great alternative to the real thing...and that has far lower calories. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted March 25, 2015 Sounds great! One caveat: watch the carbs in "sugar-free", as rarely are they truly free of sugars (as a diabetic I am very familiar with this!!!). It may be just that it has no actual "sugar" in it, but other things that are indeed true sugars (carbs). Also, to improve the taste of SF, a lot of times they will add fat to the product, and other unsavory things to amp up the flavor. I once compared SF caramels to the real thing, and the calories were about the same, and I would have ended up with ALOT more fat... so which do I choose? The real thing, as to me the other stuff is not worth the sacrifice of adding extra fat, when all I want is the real taste of that food, only then I will be satisfied. But today, they are doing great things with new sweeteners, so always just check ALL the sugars in the product, as well as the nasties like fat.... I am ALL FOR new recipes....thanks for the idea!!

FinallyFit50s 202 Posted March 25, 2015 I totally agree with @@CanyonBaby and the sweeteners. I too would have the real thing. Although at this stage, I need this type of recipe to have in my arsenal. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) @@CanyonBaby I'm also a type one diabetic. Splenda and stevia don't raise my blood sugars. Real sugar I have when my blood sugars are low but I don't make a habit of real sugar. My dietician does our local bariatric cooking classes. She loves to add Protein powder to sugar free pudding recipes. If I have a sweet tooth...Two bites of this and my craving is over.
