Need to add some variety to your breakfast but feel you don't have time for anything more sophisticated that a bowl of cold cereal? Try some yogurt and fruit! Simple, easy and you will be getting protein and carbohydrates (an excellent combination for long lasting energy) and you will be getting calcium which is essential for good bone health. Healthy Tip: Buy plain yogurt and add 5-7 drops of no calorie liquid sweetener. A small 6 ounce container of flavored yogurt can have 25 grams of sugar which is half of the daily recommendation of about 50 grams. 

Ingredients
3/4 to 1 cup of yogurt
5-7 drops of vanilla, lemon, or plain sweetener
1/4 cup berries

Directions
1. Mix yogurt and sweetener in a small bowl. 
2. Top with berries. 
3. Quickly eat your breakfast and run out the door!**

**Maybe eaten on the go if necessary

Last night after getting home I found 3 sorry looking limes on my counter. My husband had bought them for me because I love lemons and limes and I'd forgotten to use them! I decided to quickly whip up a batch of limeade to go with dinner using NuNaturals for sweetener. It turned out great and was ready in less than 5 minutes and had no calories! 

Ingredients
3 limes, juiced 
5 cups water
5-7 drops NuNaturals lemon liquid sweetener
2 NuNaturals dissolveable tablets

Directions 
1. Squeeze the juice into a pitcher and add 5 cups of cold water. 
2. Add the 2 tablets of sweetener and let dissolve and add 5-7 drops of liquid sweetener. 
3. Stir and enjoy! 

The lime juice adds a healthy dose of vitamin c which will also help you absorb iron. If you are low in iron or fighting anemia have this drink with your spinach, meat, eggs, artichokes, fortified grains and beans to help you absorb even more from these high iron foods. 

For the next couple weeks I will be featuring recipes using NuNaturals no calorie sweetener. Learn more about their new products here. As soon as I saw there new chocolate liquid sweetener I immediately thought of hot chocolate. Its been snowing here for 3 days now and our apartment was 50 F when we came home yesterday! However, I have a hard time justifying drinking 150+ calories for a moment of warmth and pleasure. Try this simple low calorie, dairy free option that will hit the spot without lots of calories! 

Ingredients
1 cup 40 calorie almond milk 
1 tablespoon cocoa powder 
7-15 drops NuNaturals Chocolate NuStevia liquid sweetener

Directions
1. Add milk to sauce pan and heat over medium heat. 
2. Whisk in cocoa powder and 7 drops of sweetener. 
3. If you like a sweeter drink add a few more drops to make it just the way you like it! 
4. Enjoy!
