Bianca is on a mission to enable families eat better with no-added sugar dishes in a world when sugar seems to infiltrate into virtually everything.
Bianca says, “I’m a mother constantly searching for ways to provide my children with great meals free of sugar.” “It’s not as difficult as you think—nature offers lots of sweetness!”
Bianca loves creamy overnight oats mixed sweetened naturally with mashed bananas and sprinkled with cinnamon. She tops it off in the morning with berries after blending oats, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds.
She prefers a basic vegetable wrap for lunch, loaded with sliced peppers, cucumbers, spinach, and homemade hummus. “Hummus can be a taste sensation powerhouse,” Bianca says. “I add roasted garlic or roasted red peppers to jazz it’s up without adding sugar.”
When it comes to dinner, Bianca looks for tasty foods free of added sugar. Her family loves a savory tomato-based stew stuffed with beans, carrots, and zucchini seasoned with herbs including basil, oregano, and a hint of chili flakes. She notes, “I’ve discovered that spices can improve any meal.”
Desserts look difficult without sugar, but Bianca has it covered. She makes goodies like energy bites or banana oatmeal cookies using the inherent sweetness of fruits such dates, figs, and applesauce.
She makes a creamy sorbet from frozen pineapple combined with coconut milk for a cool summer treat. Bianca laughs, “My children go crazy for it.” They hardly miss the sweets at all!
Apart from cooking, Bianca offers advice on how to decipher ingredient labels and spot hidden sugars in packaged goods. She advises searching for phrases like syrup, molasses, or anything finishing in “-ose.” Learning these techniques can help you to be more informed consumer and enable you to follow a no-added sugar lifestyle.
Bianca’s dishes show generally that you can have good, filling meals without piling on sweeteners. She promises me that you will value the natural flavors much more once your taste receptors change. Try her no-added sugar approach to see exactly how enjoyable and family-friendly good eating can be.
Dinner might be roasted sweet potatoes on one side of a grilled chicken breast. “Sweet potatoes are a great low-cholesterol choice since they are bursting in vitamins and fibre.”
