Hi there,
Looks good, just wondering what sugar substitute you use and how did your BS react to it?
Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie, personally I use Splenda and my blood sugars are unaffected.

I use any of Stevia, Splenda, Truvia and Z sweet. All have a funny aftertaste one way or the other so mixing them up helps a bit. Not all are spoon for spoon substitutes. Eg Truvia is a third of the amount and Splenda one half.

I love Truvia, but I suspect Splenda is better for baking. I know I want to join this party.

I’m the same Rick – Truvia for mixing with yoghurt or cream and Splenda for baking.
