Try a few drops of stevia or xylitol fruit, sugar-free alternatives. Agave syrup or maple syrup work well too \u2013 just use them sparingly to keep things balanced. A few muddled strawberries or a slice of ripe peach can also bring a gentle, fruity sweetness without needing to add anything else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6024357b7ba3d2fdd6a12278fd6b9b51\" style=\"color:#c8102e\">FEELING LAZY?
