Mixed Plate Friday

Pillsbury Zero Sugar Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix

I saw this in the store and had to try it. Zero sugar you say? Intriguing! I think you can only find this at Safeway so that means you’re paying a lot more, this mix was almost $8.00 and it only yields an 8 x 8 pan, you have been warned. I only have a 9 x 9 pan so my brownies came out much thinner than the picture on the box.

Looking pretty good out of the oven! So what was the verdict? Honestly, it tastes good! Can’t really tell it’s zero sugar. Chan actually liked these brownies more than regular brownies cause he thinks it’s less sweet, in a good way. So yeah, if you’re craving brownies and want to watch your sugar – give this mix a try!

High Key Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies tastes like it’s description. Oh if you can’t see the package, it says the cookies have less than 1 gram of sugar. Yeah, it tastes that way. Also, it’s made with almond flour. It tastes like that too lol. Hey, I’m trying my best okay? Have a great weekend!

  1. What did they use instead of sugar? Actually, sugar is better than high fructose corn syrup for our health but most processed foods (including my favorite beverage Coca Cola) us fructose instead of sugar.

      Im awful at knowing what is the fake sugar…here are the ingredients!

      Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Maltitol, Polydextrose, Maltodextrin, Cocoa and Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Canola And/or Soybean Oil, Contains 2% Or Less Of: Salt, Baking Soda, Acesulfame Potassium (Non Nutritive Sweetener), Sucralose (Non Nutritive Sweetener), Natural and Artificial Flavor.

      You know I actually agree, I don’t think real sugar is that bad for you just gotta be good about how much you eat. I heard Mexico Coca-Cola is made with real sugar??

        Yup. Mexican bottled Coca Cola is made with sugar. I used to see it sold at Costco. I need to find it again the next time I am there.

    I wonder what they use in place of sugar? I heard that the artificial sweeteners make you eat more?!

      I gotta admit, I love Pepsi zero or max or whatever it’s called. When I do drink soda, try to drink the zero sugar ones.

    That’s cool. Me, I’m fake sugar all the way. Don’t even have real sugar. When I cook and share no one notices and peeps love my Cole slaw, all fake sugar of course. I think it’s that particular person’s sensitivities. All my tests are pretty good every 6 months. Take Coke for example, ohh the horrors of drinking Coke and long term effects. Me, I’ve been drinking it since 3 years old. Yeah, I was addicted by then. Now it’s diet coke for decades and yup no side effects for nearly 65++ years of drinking it. I’ve drunk it daily. I didn’t even drink coffee when I was younger, just Coke. My mom who never drank soda, had her enamel worn away by OJ of all things. She was using a straw and where it was placed her enamel wore away. She had no cavities BTW

      Oh I should do that too! I do have some monk fruit sweetener still. I sometimes can taste the fake sugar but I think I just have sensitive taste buds.

      Wowow glad that Diet Coke has been good to you and your tests are good. I need to get back doing better. And OJ wearing away at enamel, who would have thought! Thank you for sharing N.
