Skinny Summer BBQ Chicken Sandwiches ♥

I was approached by a great company to tell you about their product  Hermosa Peak Yacon Syrup.  Yacon Syrup originates from the Yacon plant (pronounced yah-KON) of the Andes Mountains in Peru and has been part of the Andean diet for hundreds of years. The yacon juices are extracted from the roots of the yacon plant, then filtered and evaporated in a process very similar to the way Maple syrup is made. 


That's why it's a perfect replacement for a sweetner in your recipes! I made Skinny Summer bbq Chicken Sandwiches yesterday with it and here is my recipe enjoy!  ♥

Yacons contain a high level of fructooligosaccharides, which are natural sugars commonly found in plants. The body resists the process to breakdown these sugars by enzymes during digestion and passes them through the body quickly without retaining the full caloric intake.  Because the sugar in Yacon Syrup isn’t digested like normal foods, you can enjoy sweetness without the calories. you can buy some here Yacon Syrup
