Look, we love adding delicious sauces and dressings to our meals as much as the next person. Unfortunately though, most of the stuff you buy at the supermarket comes packed with unnecessary sugar, salt and other weird non-ingredients. 

But there is an easy fix to that! Introducing seven incredible make it yourself swaps that we swear will either taste just like your favourite store-bought version, or even better. 

Sweet Chilli and Ginger Sauce


Just because it has sweet in the name doesn’t mean it needs to be packed with sweet stuff! Using our  Lakanto Baking Blend or Lakanto Golden Sweetener, this Sweet Chilli number has been given a delicious upgrade with a hit of fresh ginger.

99% sugar free BBQ sauce


You’d be shocked an appalled by how much of the sweet stuff sneaks into the standard store-bought BBQ sauce. This baby comes with 99% less sugar, but all the smoky, spicy flavour you love and want at your next BBQ spread.

Maple mustard dressing without the sugar crash? It can be done with our responsibly sweet Maple Syrup! The perfect ratio, you can sub out the Dijon for whatever mustard strikes your fancy and have an epic versatile dressing for salad and veg.
