]]> From aiolis to soups, pizzas, and pasta, there are plenty of dishes that require the use of tomato paste. But, what do you do when you want to cook one of these dishes and you don’t have tomato paste on hand? Here are some of the best alternatives that you can use.

Tomato Puree

While it may not have the same texture as tomato sauce, this puree is a healthy alternative given that it comes with no added preservatives. Try adding some tomato puree to chilis, soups, and other sauces.

Marinara Sauce

This Italian sauce is commonly used on pizza bases as well as pasta, making it ideal for other dishes that require tomato paste as well. Given its thin texture, marinara sauce will work well in soups and stews.

Ketchup

Although it may sound unconventional, take a bottle of ketchup from your fridge and perhaps dilute it with water. This is because ketchup is sweeter than tomato paste.

]]> There is a lot of talk about whether sugar is really bad for you. Whatever your body tells you is probably best for you, but there are a lot of different ways to get sugar that go beyond just the white stuff you buy at the grocery store. If you want different kinds of sugar in your life, here is a good list to try!

Bananas

Bananas are naturally really sweet and add a nice sweetness to a lot of different baked goods in place of sugar. You can mash it up and make it into pancake, sweeten up your oatmeal, cakes, and more!

Dates

What’s your favorite way to eat dates? I love having a couple of dates filled with peanut butter as pre workout snack. πŸ˜‹ Despite its high calorie content dates contain several vitamins and minerals as well as fiber and antioxidants!! Its sweet taste and nutritional profile also makes it a great healthy substitute for white sugar in many recipes. A rule of thumb is to replace sugar with date paste at a 1:1 ratio πŸ˜‰ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € #dates #drieddates #plantpower #fiber #plantbabies #plantpowered #plantbaseddiet #plantbased #plantbasedkids #govegan #veganfoodshare #vegan #vegano #vegankids #vegana #veganfood #plantbasednutrition #functionalnutrition #superfoods #veganprotein #greensmoothiekids #greensmoothie #plantprotein

Dried fruit is always sweeter than regular fruit, and dates are especially sweet in a really interesting way. They actually take on a caramel-like flavor, so it’s perfect to pulse them in a food processor and add them in place of caramel or brown sugar.

Honey

Although some people say honey is broken down in the same way white sugar is, the difference is that the taste is a lot richer, and it also has a ton of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, whereas white sugar doesn’t have any redeeming qualities besides sweetness.
