4. Sweeten with cinnamon
Take things a step further and replace honey and sugar with cinnamon. This spice will impart a rich flavour in your desserts, with just a hint of sweetness. You can use powdered cinnamon to most desserts, coffee, and even smoothies. Besides adding flavor and helping you curb your cravings for sugar, having half a teaspoon of cinnamon every day will help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
