January has passed and you still haven't started your fitness resolution. Now that summer is here, you are more than ready with your fitness goal. And if you think your favorite desserts should be the first items to drop from your diet, better reconsider. Opt for smart choices instead. You do not have to skip the sweet stuff entirely. Take your cues from MAYA with these great tips.
DIY desserts
Making your own treats is a good option as you can control both the ingredients and portions. Better serve your desserts in small containers to help manage your sugar intake during meals.
Go for whole wheat
Instead of regular refined flour, opt for whole wheat. MAYA's ThinkHeart line, for instance, is a healthier alternative that can still satisfy your cravings. The MAYA Whole Wheat Carrot Mix and Whole Wheat Pancake Mix are both easy, quick, and delish desserts packed with dietary fiber from whole wheat. Such an ingredient will keep you fit and help lower your risk of heart disease.
Less processed food
Better opt for less processed food. The MAYA Whole Wheat Pancake Mix, for instance, uses muscovado sugar which is considered the purest form of sugar. It is filled with essential nutritional compounds like calcium, potassium. iron, zinc, proteins, and antioxidants. These compounds are usually filtered out in the process of making white sugar. To add, the MAYA Whole Wheat Carrot Cake contains zero-gram trans-fat, iron, and no cholesterol.
