Healthy Honey Replacement

You know, the path to a more healthful lifestyle isn't always to change everything you are eating all at once. Over the years I have learned to substitute something in my diet that is not as healthy with something that is better.  

As examples, I have substituted table salt with sea salt or redmond salt.  I have substituted vegetable oil with Olive Oil & Coconut oil, & of course I have found many opportunities to substitute sugar with honey.  

I used to throw a  little bit of sugar into my spaghetti sauce, or soup & quite frankly nearly all of my cooking.  Now I use honey instead. I prefer the taste & certainly prefer to avoid the sugar. 

 I also used to make a fresh lemonade or limeade in the summer with fresh citrus & sugar.  One day I slapped my forehead & asked myself why I wasn't using honey.  As soon as I did I was blown away at the amazingly flavorful & healthy drink I was enjoying.  I  have turned many people onto honey limeade since.

Usually the idea of "Substitution" is that you are giving up flavor for health.  The real surprise to me as I have made these substitutes in my diet is that I have experienced the exact opposite.  I love the added flavor & enjoyment that the more natural & healthful options have brought to my table.  
ENJOY!!
