NOTHING BEATS FRUIT SWEETENED TREATS!!

Many people know that my family has been "sugar free" for many years now. I will have the occasional sweet treat but it is EXTREMELY rare and is really only once a year at this point if that. I don't touch alcohol and I am very very careful with exposing my son to any sugar. I am often told by people that I am depriving my son of one of the joys of childhood. That to me is just well..CRAZY!! I know a lot of people eat sugar, some people eat it in moderation and some in excess but very few people would say that they actually believe it is HEALTHY. My son in fact is anything but deprived. He gets treats and quite often but they are fruit sweetened and always in moderation. I have compiled a list of the fruit sweetened treats that we eat in my house. Once you try them you will never go back. They feel healthier and taste yummy- a great combo.
