This means:
Adding your own sweeteners to foods puts you in control of how sweet they are. All it takes is a quick sprinkling of flakes to transform foods from plain and bland to flavorful and perfectly sweetened. Using Maple Flakes to lightly sweeten your foods is a great way to avoid the artificial sweeteners many diet products are laden with. Because the flakes are so flavorful, a little goes a long way, so you can use less and still satisfy your sweet tooth.
Give it a try: Instead of buying the sweetened versions of instant foods like oatmeal and yogurt, sweeten them yourself using Maple Flakes and save on calories and loads of added sugar.
