I made a recipe with SPLENDA® Sweeteners as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps
Have you ever had a little veggie snack and wished it was a little…sweeter? I have a pretty strong sweet tooth, so I find myself in this predicament quite often! Of course, I can’t go around sprinkling sugar on everything I eat like it’s fairy dust – or can I? When you use SPLENDA® Sweeteners, you can make a Sweet Swap and make something a little sweeter without adding all of those pesky calories! Hmm…but what should you sprinkle it on? How about this yummy Sweet Avocado Dip recipe for starters?
SPLENDA® Sweeteners offers the sweetness of sugar, without all the calories, so that you can still satisfy your sweet tooth without any of the guilt. That’s right, NO GUILT! That’s my favorite kind of food, especially when I am watching my weight.
SPLENDA® Sweeteners is so versatile that is can be used in your favorite baked goods recipes, everyday cooking, and all of your beverage mixing! I based today’s recipe off this guacamole recipe and altered it to a lower-calorie version perfect for afternoon snacking without any guilt.
This recipe is so simple and so good – can you really get any better than pie crust sprinkled with SPLENDA® Sweeteners? Well, maybe you CAN – but only when you combine it with a smooth, creamy bite of avocado and cream cheese mixture. Yum!
