Swap honey for sugar. Make that plastic bear in your cupboard your main squeeze for an all-natural, healthier substitute to sugar. “Honey gives you vitamins and minerals, where with white sugar you get nothing but calories,” says Gina Fisch, owner of Perfect Balance Weight Management in Lawrence. To get similar sweetness in recipes, use one-half to one-third the amount of honey as the amount of sugar called for, “depending on your sweet tooth,” Fisch says. Just one tablespoon of honey will give you doses of calcium, iron, potassium and other helpful nutrients, so make a beeline to this golden goodness next time you’re whipping up something sweet.
