A day of sugar information!

Good Afternoon! I hope this finds you all well.

I have been getting loads of private messages and questions about sugars recently….the good…the bad and most of all the confusing! I decided to have a day of speaking about sugar, asking questions, sharing posts and trying to give you as MUCH information as I possibly could…..on BOTH sides….as there IS two sides to everything.

This all happened yesterday (Wednesday 26th) on my Facebook page and I had the most amazing day sharing it all with you!

Sugar is such a personal and often sensitive subject but the comments were all so helpful and truly interesting to read….. I loved all the conversations and opinions (and REALLY loved all the recipes shared!)

Here is a quick and easy sugar free recipe that I made last week especially for my Miss almost 9 who I have on a refined sugar free diet at the moment…..

SUGAR FREE LEMON BISCUIT SLICE!

 1 cup rice four
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 tspn cinnamon
1/3 cup maple syrup OR agave syrup
6 tblspns coconut oil 
zest of 1/2 large lemon

Preheat oven to 180c and line a lamington tray with baking paper. 

Mix all ingredients well into a large bowl. 

Use your hands to continue to mix the ingredients until well combined – I find the heat from your hands helps with the coconut oil and it mixes better this way. 

Push mixture into the prepared lamington tray. 

Bake for 10 minutes. 

A simple yet tasty “biscuity’ type slice that my Miss almost 9 thoroughly enjoyed and was thrilled she could take to school for morning tea. 

I hope you have enjoyed all this information! Please don’t hesitate to send me a private message on FB or email me at info@cutoutthecrap.com.au if you have any questions!

Take Care Of You,
