Become a sugar savvy shopper
Following on from the hidden sugars guide, knowing which products have sugar in them (hidden or otherwise) is going to make grocery shopping a lot easier.
Below is a list of sugar free products available in New Zealand and Australia that I love. If you’re located elsewhere in the world, look out for equivalent brands and check the ingredient lists. Some of the products below will also ship internationally if you really want to try them!
All the products below are dairy and gluten free too.
