Essential Low Carb Baking Ingredients
When your kid opens up their lunch kit at school, one of the first things they’ll be looking for is a drink to sip on. For a great-tasting soda that doesn’t contain a mountain of sugar, brands like Zevia and Cove are excellent options. Choose from classic soda flavours like cola, root beer, ginger ale, cream soda, grape, and many more.
Alternatively, it can be fun to mix up your own drink at lunchtime using a convenient flavour packet like those from brands like 4C Totally Light and True Citrus. Take any bottle of water and kick it up a notch with sugar-free flavours like lemonade, fruit punch, black cherry, blue raspberry, and many others.
For those days where you might need a bit more of a pick-me-up at lunchtime, you can find healthier alternatives to sugar-heavy energy drinks by choosing a can of Zevia or Joyburst sugar-free energy drinks. With great flavours like peach mango, grapefruit, raspberry lime, and elderberry, these tasty beverages are sure to lift your spirits and recharge your batteries for the afternoon.
Swerve Erythritol Sugar Replacements
When people switch to a low carb lifestyle, one of the first things they learn to adapt to is the use of alternative sweeteners. Regular sugar is one of the biggest sources of carbohydrates, so it’s vital to find a good quality sweetener that you can use to sweeten foods and beverages and keep carbs out of the equation. One of the most popular brands of sugar replacements here at The Low Carb Grocery is Swerve.
Made using natural erythritol to provide a balanced sweetness without any carbs, Swerve offers alternative sweeteners to replace granular white sugar, brown sugar, and icing sugar for all your baking needs. Swerve sweeteners also measure just like regular sugars, so you won’t have to do any calculations to adjust them to your recipes. You can find Swerve Granular Sweetener, Swerve Brown Sweetener, and Swerve Confectioners Sweetener, along with other Swerve low carb baking products here at The Low Carb Grocery.
