Prep Time: 5 min
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 5 Tablespoons 1x
Diet: Diabetic

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons five-spice powder
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon Splenda granular

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Simply combine everything and stir well.
Sprinkle over beef ribs before barbecuing.

Notes

When I wrote this recipe, Splenda was widely accepted in the low-carb community. Feel free to substitute Truvia, an erythritol/monk fruit blend or erythritol/stevia blend, or whatever granular sweetener you prefer. But keep sweetness equivalence in mind. For example, the Natural Mate erythritol/stevia blend I have is double the sweetness of sugar, so I would use 1½ teaspoons (half a tablespoon). This would, of course, make for a slightly smaller yield, but the flavor should be right.

Eat It Again! How Repetition Rewires Your Taste – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 27

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.
