Everyone knows sugar is bad for your health, but the really sad news (at least for me) is that sugar is also extremely detrimental for your skin. Sugar sets in motion a nasty process called glycation that causes your collagen and elastin fibers to become brittle resulting in lines and wrinkles.

Eliminating sugar from your diet may throw you into a complete and utter tail spin. I know, believe me, how unimaginable it sounds; how could you even consider not eating cookies, cakes, or brownies ever again?!! The thought is incomprehensible! I know, I know just thinking about it makes you want those things even more.

Sample Sugar-Free Recipe

Sugar-free raspberry ripple

* 1/3- 1/2 cup coconut oil

* 1/3 cup organic salted butter (be sure to use salted…the saltiness gives it a lovely kick)

* 2 tbls raw cacao, or cocoa

* 1 tbls rice malt syrup

* 1/3 cup coconut, shredded or flakes (for a chunkier version)

* 1/3 cup of frozen raspberries

Melt the butter and oil (in a pan or microwave…the oil takes longer to melt so add the butter a little after); stir in the cacao and syrup. Arrange the berries and coconut on a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray or plate (a dinner plate is ideal – the slight indent creates a good shape). Pour the coconut oil mixture over the top and pop in the freezer. When firm either break into shards or cut into wedges.
