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.
