October means a few things: colder weather, Halloween, and of course, ongoing exams. So often, caffeine consumption grows exponentially during exam periods, and if you’re not a fan of the taste of coffee, so does sugar consumption. But as health conscious twenty-somethings, we know that adding tons of sugar to our diet probably isn’t the best thing to do. Luckily, In the Raw has a great alternative to sugar or other unhealthy additives: meet Monk Fruit In The Raw.
Monk Fruit in the Raw is an all-natural, zero-calorie sweetener that tastes just like sugar. From the brand that brought you Sugar In The Raw, the ever-popular alternative to white processed sugar, Monk Fruit In The Raw is from a trusted source that has ample experience in providing healthy alternatives for your sugar craving.
Confused about what Monk Fruit In The Raw actually is? That’s okay, so were we – so we asked! Monk Fruit In The Raw is made from monk fruit, which is a vine-ripened fruit from Southeast Asia. Unlike other sugar substitutes, it doesn’t contain added table sugar, sugar alcohols (erthritol), or molasses. So what’s the main sweetening ingredient? Monk fruit!
We’ll be handing out samples of Monk Fruit In The Raw on campus the week before Halloween, so make sure to come find us and try it out! It works great in coffee, tea, and baked goods – just in time for exams and all of our favorite holidays. If you’re interested in learning more, check out In The Raw on Facebook!
