At The Whole Kitchen we believe in balance and having a small amount of natural sugar can be part of a healthy diet. The natural sugars we currently use in our products (when called for) are raw honey, dried fruit including a variety of dates, sulphite free dried apricots and longans and unrefined coconut sugar, which is a natural sugar extracted from the flesh of coconuts and dried naturally. All these natural sugars are less refined than white sugar and won’t raise blood sugar levels quickly like refined sugars do.
All our products have been designed to have low overall sugar levels. Being a nutrition coach, Anne has made sure each product has the lowest level of natural sugar possible without compromising taste. If you would like to see more detail, we have included a nutrition table for each of our products so you can really understand in more detail what you are eating.
A healthy diet is one filled with fresh colourful vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds, good quality proteins, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates.
It is one high in fibre, minerals and vitamins.
It is one that prioritises real whole foods over highly processed foods.
It is one of abundance and not deprivation.
It is very individual, there is no one size fits all in terms of a healthy diet. What works for you may not work for the next person.
It is about listening to your own body, your greatest teacher and learning what foods make you thrive.
It is about enjoying and sharing good food with your loved ones.
