Ice cream, cakes, jellies … with no sugar? Of course yes! A dessert can be prepared not only with sugar but with molasses, for example, that besides being more nutritious, they provide a different flavor to desserts. There are also the brown sugar, honey bee or fructose (contained in fruits), which is not manipulated or processed by humans and retains a sugar very beneficial for the body. All of these natural sweeteners provide, in addition to nutrients, a lot of energy and without the consequences of being overweight.
