XAGAVE

I'm hooked on Xagave. It's a great sugar substitute, low glycemic, and it really does taste good. The guy who formulated it uses the nectar from two agave plants, and that is the reason for the X. When I first learned about agave several years ago I decided I couldn't afford it, and I was just going to use less sugar. Two kids later and realizing how much sugar we really were eating I've decided we can't afford not to replace the sugar in our diet. My family's health is worth the extra price.
We've replaced maple syrup with xagave. To make it I just add about a tsp of maple flavoring to the 36 oz squeeze bottle of agave. Now when my kids are pouring the "syrup" and inch thick on their pancakes, waffles, french toast, and yes even fried eggs I just smile. I used to limit the syrup and in fact I'd stopped buying it because of the high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients that made it so unhealthy.
So, this morning while I was eating my oatmeal that had xagave in it, I decided I ought to post about it. Go to http://www.xagave.com/ and read all about the benefits- fewer calories and low glycemic - just to name a couple.
