πŸ“ Sweeten Smart, Not More! πŸ‹
Cutting back on added sugar is easier than you think:

πŸ’§ Think about drinks – choose water or sparkling water with fruit.
β˜• Add spice, not sugar – try cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder.
🍎 Satisfy your sweet tooth – fresh fruit makes a great dessert.
🧁 Split the sweets – share dessert to enjoy half the sugar.
πŸ“Š Check the label – watch for added sugars like syrup or dextrose.

🍎 A little less sugar adds up to a lot more health!
