All sugar isn't created equally...
"Peanut! Fix us a couple glasses of Kool-Aid."
"Grape or red?"
Did you know that a lot of conventional white sugar isn't even vegan?
Majority of it is refined with bone char (from cattle bones) so it isn't considered vegan.
If you want to avoid white sugar overall in your homemade recipes, check out these four alternatives....
Organic Raw Sugar - I use this in baked goods like these cupcakes & pineapple coffee cake
Maple syrup (all natural) I use it in recipes like these easy chocolate pops
Dates - Medjool are my fave dates! They're big, super sweet, juicy and work perfectly in raw vegan desserts (no bake), smoothies and as a great snack with peanut butter.
I also used it in this donut hole recipe
Coconut sugar - I haven't used this one yet but I've been thinking about it ever since Crafty Earth Mama mentioned it as a more natural and healthy replacement in our podcast episode.
