Tip #12

This one was surprising to me.

Use unsweetened applesauce to sweeten cereals such as oatmeal and cream of wheat as well as smoothies. If you are trying to cut back on the amount of refined sugar you are using, this is a healthy alternative. Yesterday, I used it in my oatmeal smoothie.

Another great way to cut back on your sugar intake is to buy plain yogurt and put fruit or apple sauce in it.  Make sure it is unsweetened. A lot of regular apple sauce has added sugar or high fructose corn syrup, both of which are big no-no's.
