We've made it through another working week! And it's a bank holiday to boot at least where I am!
With lockdown, Saturday has turned into our treat day, where we'll have a slightly more special meal planned, so we have something to look forward to.
We've had Italian night, afternoon tea, cinema night, cocktail night and so on. It was fine when we thought this pandemic would be a short lived thing, but now it's become a habit, and a sugarry one at that.
Despite doing this challenge last week, and avoiding sugar on Saturday, my body is still desperately expecting its Saturday sugar hit (actually even more so this week).
Last week I opted for raspberries, but I really want your ideas for sugar free treats again this week!

I’ve 2 punnets of raspberries and one of strawberry so those are my sweet treats for the weekend.
Fortunately I do like savoury snacks and make cheese biscuits and these are typical of what I bake:
The cheese savoury biscuits look delicious, Jerry. I love 'crunchy' cheese flavours and can't resist. Very fond of cheese scones too. My grandmother used to bake them regularly and they disappeared very quickly! Thank you for the recipe. I will give them a try, but am not very good at baking! 😊
Yes, I do have a food processor. I wouldn't make cheese scones but would like to make the cheese biscuits that Jerry mentions. I would have to make some and freeze most of them because, living alone, they would go stale. That's the reason I don't bake very often, I don't want to put on weight 😊
One of my favourites is mixed berries, dollop of full fat Greek youghurt or whipped cream, with high cocoa dark chocolate shavings. I use a cheese grater !
I think this bag came from Amazon, but you can buy from a few places. You can get raspberry or strawberry powder too, which I think I've seen in Waitrose.
They do appear quite sugar/carb dense when you look at the label, but you use a tsp at most. A bag lasts a really long time.
You can mention brand names Matriarch, as long as you're not trying to sell the product
Marmite has traces of gluten as it’s made from spent brewers yeast so I eat an alternative but you either love yeast extract or you hate it and I love it. 😊
Hi Cooper27, thank you for continuing raising our awareness about sugar. 😊🙏 My sweet treat for this weekend is mixed fruits smoothie blended with my favorite Greek Vanilla yogurt. 😋
