Sugar is very addictive! The chemicals in sugar make you crave it more. Detoxing your body from sugar is possible, and your taste buds will adjust eventually. Some alternatives to sugar are the following:
Stevia(all natural sweetener)
Dairy products like milk and plain greek yogurt have lactose which is a natural sugar.
Raw Honey(has healing benefits since it's antibacterial)
Pure Maple Syrup(contain antioxidants and minerals)
Coconut Palm sugar
Fruits(dates and figs are used a lot in protein bars)
**tip for berries if not sweet enough, add a pinch of salt to enhance sweetness
Raisins are the only dried fruit without added sugar
Substitutions for sugar while cooking or baking from sweet plants include:
Homemade applesauce
Grated carrots in soups, stews and spaghetti sauce
Grated beets(sweetest plant) in smoothies and cakes-think Red Velvet Cake
Carmelized Onions for condiment
