I know it's been quiet

I just wanted to post a real quick note about why there haven't been any articles lately. Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of a move and haven't had the time to get on and post to the blog. I know many of you are looking for some good organic advice and I've been MIA. I promise more updates will be coming in the month of June so keep checking back. In the meantime, I'm going to try and keep at least the daily tips updated for you.

Send me any tips and product reviews you may have.

Product Review - Organic Raw Blue Agave

I know you have seen all the studies on how sugar is bad for you but so is NutraSweet and Splenda. And now you are completely lost and longing for a little sweetness in your coffee. My recommendation, pick up some Organic Raw Blue Agave . This product is a wonderful replacement to regular sugar and those laboratory produced sweeteners.

Wholesome Sweeteners describes their product as "a natural sweetener extracted from the core of the Blue Agave plant. Made from organically grown and processed Weber Azul, Organic Raw Blue Agave offers natural sweetness without the blood sugar spike." Their Organic Raw Blue Agave boasts a Glycemic index of 39 or less, which makes this a good sugar supplement for diabetics or those trying to watch their sugar intake. They also say the Agave in 25% sweeter than sugar, which I can attest to.

I personally find this product great in coffee since that is usually where I get most of my sugar during the day. You can also use it to replace sugar in all your cooking. The Wholesome Sweeteners website gives some recommendations on how to adjust your recipes to include their Organic Raw Blue Agave.

Another great resource on the site is their recipe collection. So not only do they offer some great Fair Trade Certified Organic products, but they offer you fabulous recipes as well.
