Agave Chocolate Tea Diabetic Recipe

It's 3pm, time for tea! I don't usually sweeten my tea but today I was craving something chocolatey so this is what I came up with. I'm sitting here sipping it as I share this recipe with you. It's easy, delicious and diabetic friendly :)

Grab your favorite microwavable mug, add about 2 tablespoons of low fat milk with about 8 oz of water along with 1 heaping teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of agave syrup. Stir and then microwave on high for 2 minutes. (Note: cocoa powder will not stir in very well until after it's heated with the water so don't worry!) Remove from microwave, stir some more and add a teabag. I used Lipton tea. Let sit for about 2 minutes and then enjoy your chocolate tea!




Ingredient List:

water
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons agave syrup
1 tea bag

Dark Chocolate Guinness Agave Brownies

Dark Guinness ® Agave Sweetened Brownies (Beer Brownies) I don't normally dream of desserts but after I made this for the first time I couldn't stop thinking about it - These brownies are my ultimate dark chocolate dream! With a hint of beer flavor that gives it a unique flavor and the texture is so silky smooth. These are made with agave syrup so are low on the Glycemic index. Yes, there are carbs and very little sugar from the bittersweet chocolate. Ingredients: cooking spray 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup dark cocoa powder (such as Hershey's® Special Dark) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 12 oz. bag bittersweet chocolate chips (60% cacao) (I used Fresh N Easy Bittersweet chocolate chips) (divided) 2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate 6 tablespoons butter 1 1/2 cups Agave Syrup 3 eggs 1 bottle Guinness® Lager or Stout Beer (I used Lager) 1 tsp. vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Chocolate Coconut Agave Cake Diabetic Friendly

Chocolate Coconut Agave Cake Recipe I made this layer cake yesterday for my diabetic husband's birthday. It was such a hit, I will definitely be making this again. The coconut oil really gives it a unique flavor plus it's good for you! It came out prettier than the picture but this was the best shot I could get since we already ate half of it. This cake is not low fat by any means, it's super moist, yet fluffy. You would never guess it's sugar free. If you've never tried agave syrup as a sugar substitute I urge you to give it a try. It doesn't spike your blood glucose like sugar and it's better than artificial sweeteners in my opinion. It does have carbs/calories but my husband can eat desserts made with agave without his blood sugar going high or low. 1 C. boiling water 1 C. unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 C. butter 1/2 C. Coconut Oil 2 C. agave syrup (I use Trader Joe's) 1/2 C. sour cream (I used lite) 4 eggs 2 3/4 C. all purpose flour 2 tsp ...

Trader Joe's Agave Nectar is it Healthy?

There's been a lot of controversy in the news lately about Agave Nectar and how it compares to high fructose corn syrup so I emailed Trader Joe's directly and asked them their opinion, this was the answer I got: "...Below is some detailed information about Agave Nectar and recent concerns regarding high fructose corn syrup. The simple nature of the organic farming and processing clearly differentiate the product from any comparison to High Fructose Corn Syrup.  We are unsure as to why organic blue agave seems to be under such concerted attack at the moment. It is rapidly growing in popularity as a multi-purpose natural sweetener with consumers. Unfortunately, our experience with those making the majority of these attacks on blue agave is that they have little interest in a reasoned debate as they consider 'caloric' sweeteners generally as the root of all evil. They tend to hide behind the anonymity of the internet and basically feed off any attempt to...
