It’s Raining Kale

I spent much of the day trying to decide how to use of some of my flax. The timing wasn’t right for waffles or pancakes, and reading all the pumpkin recipes popping up made me think about a quick bread or muffins.

I found a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Bread over at Fat Free Vegan and decided to modify it. I was a little worried that I’d end up with bricks when I subbed flax and oat bran for so much of the flour, changed the sweeteners and used whole wheat pastry flour, but these muffins are delightfully fluffy and soft. I ate two just to be sure.

I also left out the egg replacer, I figured the recipe didn’t need it with all the flaxmeal, and decided to make some almond buttermilk instead of using water because I remembered something about buttermilk baked goods more tender.

I used Susta and coconut sugar instead of sugar and brown sugar because I told you a have a food hoarding problem! wanted something a little less sweet for breakfasts, but I’m sure regular sugars would be fine. These weren’t overly sweet, but I’d probably still cut down the white portion of the sugar to 3/4 cup next time I made them.

I was recently contacted by Susta Natural Sweetener to spread the word about their Armed Forces day twitter giveaway. So after reading more about it, I talked to the company and they offered me samples to try their product. This was totally cool! So I said yes, and I have the perfect thing that we would try it in, Sweet Ice Tea. My mom and husband drink that like it is water! So what is Susta is a great-tasting, all-natural sweetener that contains probiotics, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients for optimal health. The product review I got came in a big bag and small packets. Susta tastes really good, I was nervous at first, I read the dangers of trying processed sugars, so I didn’t want to get into health problems. However Susta tastes good and it is pretty good for you. So there is no after taste, mixes easy too.

When it comes to artificially-sweetened beverages, everyone should just say no. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) claims they’re “blood sugar-friendly,” but that’s just so they can sell their ADA Seal of Approval to diet soft drink manufacturers. (In case you missed last week’s Op Ed, click here to read why these sweeteners are so bad for you.) Sparkling water with juice, cucumber slices, or a citrus peel is a much healthier way to go.

Here are some aspartame-free products that we like:

Calorie-free canned drinks: Knudsen’s Sparkling Essence

Yogurt: plain organic yogurt (full-fat is fine) with fresh fruit. If you must, sweeten it with Navitas Naturals low-glycemic yacon syrup or lucuma powder.

Alternative sweeteners we favor: Steviva and Susta

SUSTA Natural Sweetener (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free)
For those of you who don’t know me, I will let you in on a little secret…I am a health nut. When you have had as many digestive issues as I have had…you get to the point where you only want to eat or drink things with a purpose. You always question what will happen if you eat or drink the wrong thing. I have always been into probiotics to ease my stomach in digestion. So, when the makers of Susta asked me if I would be interested in trying out their product, I jumped on the idea. [Susta contains probiotics + prebiotics and reportedly aids digestion]
