Instead of processed and packaged foods and snacks that can be high in added sugars, this no-sugar diet plan includes foods that have naturally-occurring sugars that satisfy your sweet tooth. Peanut Butter Energy Balls are sweetened with fiber-rich dates instead of sugar, honey or maple syrup. For a sweet breakfast, enjoy Mascarpone and Berries Toast, which is full of naturally sweet strawberries and blackberries that are packed with antioxidants. Other fiber-rich and anti-inflammatory foods, like raspberries, blueberries, clementines, pears, and apples, offer a sweet fix without the added sugar.
