We all know sugar is everywhere and in almost everything. We know it’s not the best for us, we know we probably consume too much of it.
But what if you broke your addiction? What if you no longer NEEDED that piece of cake or felt bad after having some chocolate?
In this video, I want to share my sugar journey and how I haven’t been addicted to refined sugars for almost 10 years.

It’s a pretty sweet life

A registered dietitian, Sadia has a really wide range of wonderful recipes. I am not affiliated or collaborating with her (I wish lol).

All of her recipes are vegan. I am not vegan, however I love so many of them. There are many other nonvegan, refined sugarfree recipes out there, just be sure to check the ingredients to make sure you know what they are and watch out for any ‘hidden sugars’.
