Healthy sweeteners to brighten up any meal

There are lots of healthy sweeteners, many of them low in calories, as great alternatives to sugar. Besides 100% natural, low-calorie stevia, there’s also honey and agave nectar, both silky and creamy in texture, though also higher in calories. They’re perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack when you’re craving something sweet. How about toast with a chopped-nuts topping and a drizzling of honey or agave nectar? A healthy, nutritional sweet afternoon snack that beats a cake any day.
