Warm, delicious, spicy or sweet: you can enjoy porridge in many different variants as a sugar-free breakfast .
Because we love porridge without added sugar with natural sweetness, which keeps you full for a long time, is also well digestible, healthy and tasty.
Dried fruit is a valuable and nutritious ingredient that is often added to porridge. Since the fruits have been deprived of water, they taste particularly sweet and ensure a high fiber content.
Other health-promoting ingredients such as minerals and vitamins are still largely preserved. Our favorites here include dried dates , but also figs , apple pieces , sultanas or apricots .

Why is porridge healthier without conventional sugar?
Conventional refined sugar can be quickly absorbed into the blood by the body and the blood sugar level rises in no time. Therefore, it helps us in moments when we need energy and calories quickly.
But just as quickly, the amount of usable energy decreases, non-usable puts unused stress on the body. And soon we will need more energy again.
With healthy fibre, minerals, proteins and fats, your digestion will remain sensible because valuable nutrients and calories can be absorbed. Therefore, your feeling of fullness also lasts longer.
You can make porridge without sugar and still sweet. Fruity-sweet natural ingredients not only offer a healthy alternative to conventional sugar.
They also provide you with valuable and easily digestible nutrients that you can add to your porridge.
If you want to save your body unnecessary burden, a porridge without a lot of sugar is of course advantageous. There are plenty of sugar-free yet sweet alternatives.
What are the alternatives to refined sugar?
The most obvious alternative to refined sugar would be raw cane sugar. Although this is not exactly healthier to the relevant extent, it does contain more minerals and vitamins than industrial sugar.
In addition, it has a fine taste of its own, usually caramel and molasses.
Honey is certainly a healthy alternative for your porridge without conventional sugar. Provided it is organic honey that retains minerals and vitamins. The situation is similar with maple syrup.
Agave syrup is also relatively low in calories and particularly sweet. However, it is unsuitable for people with fructose intolerance because it contains a high proportion of fructose.
Erythritol (sugar alcohol) is also obtained naturally, from corn or mushrooms. It contains almost no calories, as does birch sugar (sugar alcohol), which is made from wood.
You can get a healthy sugar alternative and good nutrient balance with dates or other dried fruits.
Their beneficial effect on the body is undisputed due to their valuable ingredients and they give your porridge a natural sweetness without sugar.
They contain some calories, but also a little less than honey.
Ripe bananas in porridge
Sweet energy sources are ripe bananas that you can add to your porridge without sugar.
They are easy to digest and contain many vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.
They are rich in potassium, which is essential for muscles, nerves and heart. The vitamin B6 contained in bananas plays a special role in protein metabolism.
Therefore, they are also a popular snack among athletes.
Dried fruit as a natural sweetener
If fresh fruit is not available for your porridge without added sugar, dried fruit is a healthy alternative.
Since it hardly contains any water, taste and sweetness are particularly concentrated. You will still benefit fully from its nutrients and fiber.
All varieties of dried fruit retain the taste of their original kind. Dried pears naturally taste like pears, dried figs like figs.
The most taste-neutral dried fruit is the date. It is therefore a popular ingredient for our porridge without industrial sugar.
Fresh berries for your sugar-free porridge
The eye eats with it. That is why we love especially fresh berries in our porridge without sugar.
Blueberries , red strawberries and raspberries are a real feast for the eyes and this tip makes it easy for us to enjoy breakfast sugar-free.
