Mixing It Up
Use mixes to make semi-homemade meals, snacks, treats, and more! Shave off time while keeping your dishes packed with flavor. The only one who will know that it is not from scratch is you! Use this as a guide to help stock your pantry with sugar free mix staples.
Dip Mixes
Snack time is simple when using dip mixes. Whether a ranch dip or a French onion soup mix, when mixed with nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream you have a sugar free, protein packed snack.
These healthy dips will get everyone from tots to teens eating their veggies.
Seasoning Packets
Spice it up with seasoning packets. With a simple taco, chili, or soup seasoning packet you can make boring entrees zing with flavor. Try making a soup with leftover veggies and chicken, mix in a bit of taco seasoning, chopped tomato and cilantro, and your soup just turned into a chicken tortilla soup. A chili seasoning pack can make a pantry of canned tomatoes and beans churn out a warm and delicious chili stew.
Baking Mixes
Sweet treats that use sugar free mixes are simple and leave out the guess work. With no substituting sugar free sweeteners this makes baking a breeze! Keeping several sugar free baking mixes on hand will make surprise guests and last minute birthday celebrations simple. For a well prepped pantry, consider keeping a brownie mix, yellow cake mix, and chocolate cake mix on the shelf. Sugar free pancake and waffle mix can make breakfasts a cinch.
Drink Mixes
Sugar free hot cocoa mixes are a great wintertime staple.
Make with water to keep the overall carbohydrate count low or mix with low fat milk for a richer tasting treat.
Gelatin and Pudding Mixes
Gelatin and pudding are simple sugar free snacks or desserts that are great to keep on hand. Whether making banana pudding with sugar free vanilla pudding or gelatin shapes for a children’s snack, they will become a family favorite! These mixes also make a great springboard for other treats like a chocolate strawberry parfait or gelatin popsicles, try using this recipe without the added sugar.
Season packets, cake mixes, and other sugar free mixes can make sugar free cooking simple and delicious!
