Help a Meal Ticketer out: Diabetic-friendly city spots?
Filed Under: We're Here to Help
A trusted Meal Ticket reader/tipster checks in with the following query:
With a family member newly diagnosed with Diabetes, I was wondering if you knew of any restaurants, bakeries and candy shops in the city selling natural, sugar-free treats for the holidays coming up. Thank you for any information.The first two spots that come to mind for us are Sweet Freedom Bakery (1424 South St.), which bakes its delicious goodies using low-glucose sweeteners like organic agave nectar and coconut sugar, and the candy boutique Philly Sweettooth (630 S. Fourth St.), which features an entire sugar-free section of chocolate, fruit, nut and chewy/hard candies. But what else do y'all got? Leave any and all ideas and suggestions in the comments!
Essene market has a nice selection of natural/organic candies if you want to go the do-it-yourself gift basket route. Also maybe check Healthy Bites and look into Green Aisle Grocery... I know they sell a lot of artisan/natural stuff (not sure about snax for the betes though). Also I don't want to self-promote, so MealTicket friend, if you'd like, you can add my company to the list. I use all-natural sweeteners like agave nectar and can make anything low fat and low salt.
