Ditch the sugar, keep the flavor! Sweet Potato Latte

You will be surprised by how many ways you can be creative in your kitchen to eat less or to avoid eating sugar all together in your everyday diet. There is no physiological need for any of us to eat refined sugars. We're hardwired to desire sweet foods meanwhile in a recent article in the British Medical Journal, sugar was described "as dangerous as tobacco". 

Sugar is empty calories, it adds to total calories, but provide no vitamins or minerals. It doesn't give you anything beneficial in your body. Eating less sugar is about preserving your health. I don't say you should omit sugar all together, keep your sugar life in moderation. Reducing its role in your life can benefit you and your loved ones.

My book Kids in the Swahili Mom Kitchen is coming soon. In this book you will find many recipes that I have created or modified to make them more healthy for your kids to enjoy like the Sweet potato latte, so tasty that you won't miss the sugar in this drink at all.
