Three Honey Snacks to Sweeten Up Your Day
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nature Nate’s 100% Pure, Raw & Unfiltered Honey. All opinions are 100% mine.
Did you know it’s National Honey Month?! Which means it’s the perfect time to sweeten up your diet with a little honey, one of the most delicious natural sweeteners out there! There are so many different sweeteners on the market nowadays, but honey is a natural alternative to the processed sugars and artificial sweeteners, that tastes delicious in pretty much anything!
To celebrate Natural Honey Month, I’ve created three easy recipes that you can add into your daily routine. And if you’re using Nature Nate’s Honey like I am, you’ll get the added benefits like extra vitamins, enzymes and nutrients that you can’t find in any processed sweetener. Plus it’s incredibly versatile. You can add it to drinks, bake with it, put it in dressings or marinades and you can even create your own skincare products with it. I personally haven’t because I don’t trust myself to not eat it directly off my face, but you could totally do that if you have self control (unlike me).
Think about what you add sweetener to every day – Is it your morning cup of coffee? Or an afternoon snack? Or a treat? Whatever it is, honey is a great alternative that is easily accessible and packed with good stuff! And Nature Nate’s honey is raw, unfiltered, and 100% pure honey. Nothing but the good stuff in each bottle! And Nature Nate’s can be purchased at most major and regional retailers. So today I’m showing you how I incorporate their honey into my daily routine! First I have an iced coffee blended with honey, then a snack that I have been loving in the afternoon lately, and a dressing that goes amazing on salads, chicken and is a great marinade for steak!
First up…since it should always be first…iced coffee! If you’re anything like me and like to enjoy your life, you like a little sweetener in your coffee. And honey is the perfect alternative to sketchy processed sugars that will sweeten up your coffee a perfect amount without overpowering the drink.

Now for an afternoon snack! I’ve been eating this yogurt bowl every single week lately and LOVING it! I’ve even shared it on my IG stories a few times. It’s creamy, slightly sweet and has the perfect amount of crunch! It’s the best snack to help power you through the rest of your day, without weighing you down!
