Do you know anything about monk fruit? I’m looking for a healthy real food substitute to continue on my Weights Watchers journey. I’m trying to stay away from artificial and processed foods. Thanks!

In reply to Suzi. I don't know anything about Swerve. Maybe another reader can comment!

Do you know anything about Swerve as a replacement for white sugar? I think I read it can be used 1-1.

Thanks! Great info!

In reply to Jodi.

Thanks, Jodi!
Turbinado is a processed sugar where most of the molasses has been removed (and most of the nutrients are gone). While definitely a better choice over refined white sugar or brown sugar…I would try rapadura, sucanat or coconut sugar in its place for even less processed. Sometimes you can sub honey or maple syrup for white sugar but not on a 1-1 basis. You can try something like 3/4 cup honey for every 1 cup white sugar. In the end, however, it is all still sugar 😉
