Fortunately, these snack recipes have zero added sugars and highlight inflammation-fighting ingredients like berries, nut butters, legumes and whole grains. Try our Lemon-Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites or our No-Added-Sugar Smoothie for a delicious, nutritious bite that will help you feel your best.
