HG Alternative: When this recipe was first published in the cookbook Hungry Girl Clean & Hungry OBSESSED!, on page 321, it called for 3 tbsp. Truvia spoonable no-calorie sweetener (or another natural brand about twice as sweet as sugar). These days, we tend to go with sweeteners that measure cup-for-cup like sugar, but feel free to use 3 tbsp. Truvia instead!
