Sugar and artificial sweeteners have the power to hijack your health, and most people are looking for a way to avoid them at all costs. If you happen to be one of them, here’s a couple of healthy alternatives you should consider replacing them with.

Raw Honey

Honey is a great source of minerals, antioxidants, and other healthy nutrients, and it comes with a long list of health benefits. That’s why it’s considered one of the most popular natural sweeteners, as long as you don’t go overboard since it comes with a high level of fructose.

Fresh Fruit

Fruits aren’t really one of those sugar alternatives you can easily add to your tea or coffee, but they’re perfect if you’re craving something sweet and healthy. They are a great addition to oatmeal and smoothies, and you’ll need no sugar once you add them to the mix.

Stevia

Stevia is one of the most popular healthy sugar alternatives, and there’s a reason why it gained so much attention. Despite the fact it contains virtually no calories, this herbal sweetener can be 100 to 300 times sweeter than sugar, and you can easily use it in cooking and baking.
