This versatile mix lets you enjoy the indulgent flavor of salted caramel without compromising your health goals. 

The Hidden Sugar in Traditional Salted Caramel

Salted caramel has become a beloved flavor in everything from coffee drinks to desserts. However, traditional salted caramel is often packed with sugar, sometimes containing as much as 15-20 grams of sugar per tablespoon. For those watching their sugar intake, this can quickly add up and lead to unwanted spikes in blood sugar levels.

High sugar consumption has been linked to numerous health issues, including weight gain, increased risk of heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. For anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake, finding alternatives to traditional high-sugar ingredients is crucial. That’s where 5 Sparrows Brand Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Drink Mix comes in.

5 Delicious Recipes Using 5 Sparrows Brand Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Drink Mix

Salted Caramel Overnight Oats

Have you ever tried overnight oats? They are basically just the lazy version of regular oatmeal. Overnight oats are also easy to take on the go, and can be a nice change from hot oatmeal as the weather warms up. In addition, soaking oats can also make them easier to digest.

And one of our favorite things about overnight oats is they are easy to customize for your flavor preferences. We made this version with 5 Sparrows Brand Salted Caramel Drink Mix, but you could use your favorite 5 Sparrows flavor and any of your favorite add-ins. Just pop your oats, milk, and flavorings in a bowl or tupperware, stir and leave in the fridge overnight. The mixture will thicken to give you beautiful, thick oatmeal that tastes great without the sugar (or the cooking)!

Zero Sugar Salted Caramel Macchiato

Usually, the words “salted caramel” would send anyone watching their sugar intake running for the hills.

The phrase brings to mind a sticky, sweet, sugar-packed additive that’s sure to hijack your health and leave you feeling awful.

Even worse, most salted caramel products on the market today are packed with calories! A single tablespoon of industry-leading, traditional salted caramel coffee syrup contains 60 calories, 16 grams of net carbs, and 14 grams of sugar, for example! Fortunately, we found a way to recreate salted caramel, so it offers all the flavor you love without any of the sugar shakes or crashes.

In the Italian tradition, a macchiato is an espresso with a dash of milk or foam. Because most people don’t have an at-home espresso machine, though, we made this version a little more DIY friendly.

Here’s how to make your own:

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the ingredients in your favorite cup and mix well with a long-handled spoon.
  2. Sip and enjoy knowing that the finished product only has 25 calories, 0 grams of trans fat, 2 grams of net carbs, and NO SUGAR!
  3. If you’re looking for a little extra comfort in your cup, consider topping your drink with a dollop of Sugar-Free Whipped Cream.
