- Did you know that your sweet cravings are
often just a sign of dehydration? The next time your sugar cravings
hit, have a tall glass of sparkling water mixed with cranberry
juice and a splash of lime. Add a spoonful of frozen blueberries
and a teaspoon of honey to your glass of water. Or re-hydrate
and get your sweet taste satisfied with a cup of cocoa spice
tea with some honey.
- A big bowl of brown rice seasoned with cinnamon,
nutmeg, cloves, or pumpkin spice is a warm, hearty treat.
