It’s fun getting people gifts when you’re inspired. But if you feel obligated to spend $40 on an ugly scarf for CeeCee just because you happen to sit next to her at work…don’t. The holidays are a perfect time to present coworkers and family members with delicious and nutritious homemade treats. Sugar abounds at this time of year, and we all know how toxic that stuff is (check out Nancy Appleton’s 146 Reasons Why Sugar is Ruining Your Health). How about trying some naturally sweetened alternatives? You can introduce your community to the concept of healthy indulging. Even better, include a recipe with the gift so that they can try it on their own.
I recently stumbled upon this site and felt super inspired by the abundance of easy desserts. Try:
RAW VEGAN ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES
And of course, a few stevia recipes:
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP CHERRY COOKIES
STEVIA CHEESECAKE, BROWNIES, AND MORE
Don’t forget to let me know what you think!
