Another year has past. As I turn the pages of the calendar, I like to focus on the positive aspects of growing older; life has less drama, and I’ve had a great deal of practice trying to live in the moment. However, I must consider ALL aspects of aging if I am to stand any chance of doing it gracefully. Spoiler Alert: My calories needs are decreasing. Yes, it is true; it comes with maturity. I know, BUMMER. But it’s not so bad. Believe it or not, I’ve found a simple way to maintain a healthy weight by exercising daily, eating nutrient rich foods and using less sugar. If you’re thinking ,
Cutting back on sugar is rotten!

Life with less sugar can be just as sweet. .
..with Truvia® Natural Sweetener. This natural, great tasting, zero-calorie sweetener is made with stevia leaf extract, the sweetest part of the stevia leaf. It sprinkles just like sugar, and one packet provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar.
I ‘ve been enjoying it in coffee, tea, yogurt and most recently in this Chai Tea Latte Oatmeal. A typical Chai Tea Latte (made by your favorite barista) is loaded with added sugar; as much as 32 grams. Not mine.. Enter #TasteTruvia. I steeped my very own Chai Tea and sweetened it with Truvia® Natural Sweetener. Then I used the strained tea as liquid to cook old fashioned oatmeal, and topped off the cereal with frothed milk and grated nutmeg. YUM! I like the convenience of making Chai Tea ahead of time and storing it in the refrigerator so it’s ready to go when I am. The entire satsifying bowl is under 150 calories. For breakfast it offers me an opportunity to improve my intake of whole grains, still keeping my sugar and calorie intake in check, even when I team it with a couple of hard boiled eggs or an egg white omelet. In the afternoon it’s a gratifying snack, holding me over until dinner.
Maybe now you’re wondering,
