‘Tis the season that you should be counting sugar plums dancing in your head-- not counting calories! The Balancing Act not only found the perfect sweet treat substitute—but also found one sweet actor to join this Healthy Holiday Show! The Balancing Act welcomes NXT Nutritionals, long with TV and film star Blair Underwood to the program! Tune in November 27th at 7:30am (ET/PT) as they air on Lifetime Television. Together they’re going to show you how to enjoy a tasty and healthy holiday season.
Blair has made it one of his priorities to help others eat healthier, and live a healthier lifestyle—even if they have diabetes. Blair says, “People need to know they have the power to prevent type 2 diabetes – or to keep the condition under control if they’ve already been diagnosed. In addition to exercise and good nutrition, maintaining normal blood sugar levels and reducing the amount of sugar we consume in our diets is critical – and it’s easier than you might think.
Blair adds, “The trick is to make your own treats that are low in sugar and calories. That’s why I want to get the message out about Susta, an all-natural sugar alternative from NXT Nutritionals.”
SUSTA® Natural Sweetener has very little impact on blood sugar, which makes it suitable even for people with diabetes. It also tastes great, and unlike common alternative sweeteners, it has added health benefits. To talk more about the health benefits of Susta-- Mike McCarthy, CEO of NXT Nutritionals joins the show. Mike says, “As an all-natural sugar alternative, Susta has a low glycemic index – that means it avoids the sharp rise in blood sugar you typically experience when you eat sweet foods. Susta is also safe for people with diabetes and can also help anyone maintain even blood sugar levels. In addition, it contains a wealth of vitamins, minerals-- and it’s high in fiber and contains probiotics.”
You’ll want to stay tuned as Blair turns chef, and makes his favorite family brownies! Mike will also be on hand to show how to make them in a low-sugar version! Together they pull off a delicious recipe that has just a third of the sugar found in traditional brownies.
The sweet treats don’t stop there. They move onto an apple raisin bran muffin recipe made with Susta-- which makes a tasty holiday morning or anytime snack.
