Nearing 30, I've decided I need to reduce the amount of simple sugars I consume - I suffer from mild anxiety and diabetes runs in the family.
I've a sweet tooth, but the bulk of my sugar intake is from drinks (Dr Pepper in particular). I like a smoothie, but they are not cheap to drink on a regular basis and still contain simple sugars (fructose). I don't really want to replace sugar with aspartame (the sweetner most manufacturers seem to use in the UK), plus I can taste the difference between the sugared and sugar free versions anyway. However, I don't like coffee, black tea or unflavoured water.
I've never tried green teas. Any suggestions for someone with a sweet tooth but also likes bitter and sour foods?
