Substitutes for artificial sweeteners

medtechnc

I can’t eat anything with sweeteners and with sugar alcohols and I hate the taste of Stevia and monk fruit. Any suggestions for yogurt. I hate Greek yogurt too. I have bad GERD and these upset my stomach.

Fruit.
That’s my suggestion for sweetening things like yogurt.
A finely chopped apple, or half a banana, mashed, are an excellent addition to yogurt. Maybe a small handful of raspberries or blueberries?

Second this - fruit. Nature’s sweetener. Take your pick.

Add extracts; vanilla is my fav with cinnamon or nutmeg.

I don't like artificial sweeteners like stevia or monkfruit, either. They don't taste right to me - kind of metallic or chemical-y or something, I don't know. Not good. I'm not diabetic or insulin resistant, though, just a calorie counter.

I strongly suspect you won't like this idea, but I just use sugar, honey, blackstrap molasses, maple syrup, apple juice concentrate, or some other calorie-containing sweetener, but don't use lots. It helps that in my case I'm not strongly attracted to sweets. There are just a few foods I prefer slightly sweetened, such as my breakfast oatmeal.

Outfits like the World Health Organization suggest that as long as a healthy person is getting less than 10% of calories from added sweeteners, that's tolerably OK. I'm typically at less than that, so it works for me.

Thank you! I will try to add those to my yogurt and cottage cheese.
