If you're looking for a way to cut back on white sugar, (aren't we all?) Agave Nectar is a great sugar substitute. Firstly, it's got a lower glycemic index, so it's absorbed into the bloodstream more slowly than sugar (fancy talk for "no sugar crash"). Most agave brands are organic, raw, and kosher. It dissolves easily in coffee, iced teas or smoothies, so say good bye to those annoying sugar floaties at the bottom of your drink. AND it's 25% sweeter than sugar, so you use less and save calories. I like to add it to plain yogurt with a little vanilla extract or orange zest when I'm feeling fancy, or use it to sweeten lemonade or on top of pancakes.
