Dessert: A kid’s favorite course and dad’s biggest headache. Parents, stand your ground! Sugar can negatively impact memory, academic performance, and metabolism. But that doesn’t mean you has to skip “dessert.” Need low-sugar dishes that are delicious? Look no further.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

All the gooey comfort of traditional chocolate chip cookies, with none of the sugar. How, you ask? With sugar alternatives such as stevia — which is 200 times sweeter than table sugar, so you can use a lot less — and sugar-free chocolate chips. These yummy cookies only have about 1g of sugar per serving.
