I eat two slices of toasted whole grain sugar free bread every morning. I have been using a reduced sugar jelly sparingly. I am looking for something that would be more nutritious and cut out the sugar entirely. I have been researching truvia and see some issues with that type of sweetener. I do not like honey. Any ideas?

    Have you tried apple butter? It's really yummy and better than butter by a long-shot.

    Any kind of pure nut butters - i.e. almond butter, cashew butter, etc. They make a nice change from peanut butter. Also, pumpkin seed butter. As long as you get them from a health food store, and read the ingredients, you should be able to find them easily with no added sugars.

    Laughing cow cheese + natural jam

    May sound weird, but it tastes like butter. And has more protein! XD

    Egg salad

    Tuna mixed with Cream Cheese ( to avoid Mayo )

    Cream Cheese with onion powder and cracked black pepper. All blended well...yummy spread.
