Loving the BITE: Real-Food Valentine’s Fruit Pastries

Poptarts.  There are few foods that scream “processed fake food” to me as much as Poptarts.  It may seem harsh, but these breakfast substitutes are made with nothing but refined grains, covered in partially-hydrogenated frosting, and filled with fake-fruit filling.  They are the epitome of super-processed foods.  And, yet, they stay on the market....

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
