Ooooh yes, strawberry coconut cream pie sounds delicious! And yes please let me know when you post it if you're not able to get it submitted in time for the challenge. Thank you, I can't wait to see it!

I used to eat a shocking amount of sugar... a chocolate bar was my lunch, then I'd have several choc bars or cakes etc for my supper later on. I managed to remain a UK size 6-8 always but I'd have terrible energy highs & crashes, digestive issues, headaches... Not good! It was a little difficult phasing it out of my diet - I did it gradually every other day, then only at weekends, then not at all. I replaced ice cream with homemade frozen yoghurt mixed with pureed banana, and if I felt peckish at supper time I'd have something like homemade [sugar free] scone with a little honey spread on it, things like that, and I never ever miss the days of processed sugary treats - even my ultimate favourite that was cadbury's Twirl :-) Some people tell themselves they could never give these things up, but they can, with a little determination and sugar-free naturally sweet replacements like you and I make!

I think you're right about sneaking healthy treats to a child who has previously consumed high sugary foods. It's definitely harder when the child already has their favourite things like marshmallows, or branded sweets like those disgusting 'Haribo' gummy candies as they're much harder to replace with healthy things. But well done, I'm so pleased to hear you're having success with your nephew - hooray!
