Sweeteners Talk with Green Smoothie Girl

Green Smoothie Girl Videos

Robyn Openshaw, a.k.a. Green Smoothie Girl, has a series of videos where she shows you how to make green smoothies and other things. In one video, #15, she talks about sweeteners. Which ones she considers to be the worst to avoid (refined sugars), better, and then the best. I'm decreasing/avoiding sweeteners now because I've started a cleanse. Below are listed the best sweeteners that she recommends:

Best:
Whole figs
Whole dates
Currants

By the way, I made a chocolate drink using whole dates (along with almonds, cocoa powder, pumpkin seeds, vanilla, distilled water) which had consistency of a milkshake, was very chocolatey and completely satisfying as a sweet treat.
