Which of these is a healthier topping for a whole grain waffle? peanut butter / 100% pure maple syrup or honey

Answer 1

Honey or peanut butter.

Honey has a whopping 65 calories a tablespoon but you need less of it to sweeten the pot. Studies indicate that people who eat honey have a higher polyphenols in their blood, so perhaps honey has antioxidant qualities as well! Honey is a good alternative sweetener. Honey is an extremely healthy food, full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants.

Maple syrup is high in sugar content.

Peanuts and peanut butter are loaded with fat; however, it is the heart-healthy, unsaturated type of fat. Over 80% of the fat in peanuts comes from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats -- both kinds shown to be beneficial in lowering blood cholesterol levels. The key to including the great taste of peanut butter into a healthy diet without adding extra fat and calories is portion control.

Answer 2

Your best bet is to go to the grocery store and find the maple syrup that's made for diabetics. Now that the government has cleared the idea that saccharin causes cancer, you have no reason to avoid artificial sweeteners because they're at no risk to your health. I've tried this before just to lessen my sugar intake and it's actually as sweet as normal maple syrup but a little thinner.

Answer 3

Peanut butter has protein- healthy.
Honey and syrup are just forms of sugar.
